Imphal, January 23 2014 :
In contrast to previous matches which were mostly evenly matched, LYC Lungdraijan trounced Green Hornet, Silchar by a margin of 7 goals to nil to stride into the quarter finals of the 10th Jiri Invitation Football Tournament being held at Jiribam Government Higher Secondary School ground today.
Excelling in every department of the game, so dominating was LYC that it opened its account as early as the 12th minute of the match, when Karjeikeh slotted home the ball with ease catching Green Hornet napping.
The early goal only spurred the LYC players to pile on the pressure and they repeatedly raided the citadel of the rival team.
Outpaced and outplayed, LYC players toyed around with the ball and Bijoy found the net in the 37th minute to increase the margin to two goals to nil.
After the second goal, it was Karjeikeh all the way as he pumped in three more goals in the 45th, 55th and 65th minutes of the match, with the Green Hornet team repeatedly caught on the wrong foot.
So dominating were the LYC players that the Green Hornet players rarely touched the ball and Jewel added to their woes by finding the net in the 56th and 70th minutes of the match to complete a whitewash.
The last pre-quarter final match will be played tomorrow between DSA and HSA.
