Imphal, February 24 2014 :
Star player, O Bembem was in her elements again pumping in three goals to help her team, MPSC-A whack NYTHC by a margin of 6 goals to one in the 1st Womens' Open Futsal Championship being staged at YLL Ground, Ningom Leirak, Pishumthong.
It was the NYTHC (Okram Chuthek) which shot into the lead in the 13th minute of the game, when Sh Hemarani netted the ball.
Things however took a different turn, with O Bembem coming up with yet another sterling performance to score three goals in the 14th, 22nd, and 27th minute of the match to single handedly take the match away from their rival.
Ng Bala chipped in with two goals in the 29th and 30th minute while Th Tababi found the target in the 37th minute to complete the rout.
Things were different in the other two matches played today.
In the first match of the day, ESU-B, (Wangkhei) managed to edge past YWC (Langthabal) by the odd goal in three.
YWC took the lead as early as the 7th minute of the match when Ng Anibala was bang on target.
Stung by the early goal, ESU-B went on the offensive and launched a series of attacks on either side of the flank but the defence of YWC stood firm.
The break through however came in the 23rd minute when M Mandakini found the net to bring her team back into the game.
The attack continued and this paid dividends in the 26th minute when I Prameshori netted the ball to help ESU-B carve out a 2-1 win.
The third match of the day was a thriller with MPSC-B drawing ESU-A (Wangkhei) at four goals each.
MPSC-B shot into the lead in the 12th minute of the match when L Isharani found the target.
Sayed Bukshera scored the next goal in the 13th minute to help the police team take a two goal lead.
However ESU-A fought back hard and reduced the margin in the 14th minute through Zimia.
Kasmina then scored in the next minute to restore parity.
Sh Shanti of MPSC-B scored in the 22nd minute but this was neutralised by strikes from Ksh Margaret who scored in the 23rd and 34th minute.
