Imphal, June 19 2019:
Social Welfare Club (SWC), Keirak which went down 1-0 in the hands of Sena Athlete's Organisation (SAO), Kakching edged past Uyok Chingya Club (UCC), Kakching 2-1 to keep their semi-final hopes alive at the 3rd Ksh Tikendrajit Memorial U-13 Boys State Level Invitation Football Tournament, 2019 being organised by DSA Kakching at its playground under the aegis of All Manipur Football Association.
Both SWC and UCC were evenly poised in the first half and shared almost equal possession and amount of scoring chances but lack of finishing touches and composure denied one another from making the headway.
Although SWC failed to create an impression in the first half, they started the second half positively and eventually found the breakthrough in the 44th minute through Johnson.
UCC were quick to reply with a series of close runs and it was in the 48th minute that Renedy went deep into SWC's box to slot home the equaliser.
The parity however did not last long as SWC broke the deadlock in a matter of 3 minutes, this time through Yoihenba and the scoreline remained unchanged till the final whistle giving SWC the edge.
