Imphal, October 23 2016:
TRAU, Kwakeithel produced another superlative performance to overwhelm USA, Khurai by a whopping 3-0 margin today in the ongoing 11th Manipur State League, and keep alive their hopes of occupying the top of the league table.
With this win, TRAU jumped to the second spot and pushed AIM (with a match in hand) and FC Zalen to third and fourth positions respectively.
The match started on a positive note with both teams looking to attack.
The breakthrough came when USA defender T Sushil scored an own goal in the 15th minute.
The USA custodian was caught on the wrong position as the defender tried to clear a ball off an attempt by TRAU striker Idowu Michael.
It took TRAU only five minutes to double the lead as Amos Nathaniel Adisa latched on a pass from L Sanatomba.
USA struggled to find the equalisers.
However, TRAU defenders denied any chances and thwarted the attempts by USA strikers.
Both teams went to the break with TRAU's 2-0 lead intact.
After the breather, TRAU continued their offensive game and Th Vandona, who came off the bench, capped with the third goal in the 85th minute.
