Imphal, August 31 2019:
UPSA, Pukhao registered their first win in four matches by beating Angtha FC by 2-0 goals while ESU, Wangkhei managed their second win with a 4-1 thumping of CSC, Chanung in today's matches of the Moirangthem Ibobi Memorial First Division Football League Tournament being organised under the supervision of Imphal East District Football Association at NESU Ground, Khurai.
UPSA which were taking a deep plunge without earning a single point from the past three matches leave their heads held high today as they managed a 2-0 win against Angtha FC with all the goals coming up in the first half itself.
Priyo banged in the first goal for the team in the 5th minute of the match before Bijen struck the second and the last goal of the match in the 23rd minute.
Angtha FC which edged past CSC, Chanung 2-1 in the previous match could not made their effort count despite many scoring chances as UPSA did a good job to defend their lead till the final whistle.
Meanwhile in the 20th match of the tournament, ESU which were held to a 1-1 draw by USA, fought back brilliantly from one goal down to notch up a 4-1 win against CSC today.
CSC had most of the earlier chances and led the first half 1-0 through Th Abung's strike in the 23rd minute.
Hard working ESU however got the score levelled in the 41st minute with Bhagirot finding the net before Thomsal completed turnaround with a fine shot in the 56th minute.
There were no looking back for the team since then as Bhagirot found the target again in the 61st and D Thangabar rounded off the scoring during the stoppage time (80+2') .
