Imphal, March 12 2022:
Classic FA, Chingmeirong booked the semi-final ticket of the ongoing 63rd Sir Churachand Singh KCSI, CBE Memorial Invitation Football Tournament after playing out a goalless draw with NEROCA FC (reserves) at Artificial Turf, Lamlong Thongkhong.
NEROCA FC had beaten MA, Kangpokpi 2-1 in the first quarter final league round but CFA's 4-3 win against the Kangpokpi team earned them the Group B pole position by virtue of better number of goals scored even as the two teams ended up sharing a point each to finish with same 4 points.

Playing for the pole position of the group and a semi-final berth, the game was a tight affair with both sides concentrating most on defending their citadel.
The two sides drew blank in the opening half despite having fewer scoring chances as the attempts lack finesse and intent.
The first half also saw NEROCA FC being reduced to 10-man with W Rohit being sent off with a second yellow in the 43rd minute.
Despite having numerical superiority, the debutants based at Chingmeirong failed to capitalise in the second half as NEROCA FC defense stonewalled all incisive moves from their rivals.
Things got tense in the dying minutes of the game as Classic FA pushed hard for the breakthrough.
Their efforts failed to yield results and sadly, NEROCA FC lost one more man as A Rishan, who received a yellow card in the first half (43') got booked for another yellow during the stoppage time.
Classic FA's S Bijeshwor (31') and NEROCA FC's Sonam Chothe (43') and Kh Lucky (45+1') also picked up yellow cards in this slightly tense clash.
