Imphal, January 28 2022:
Japhou FC rode on Bunghong brace to beat Unapal FC 2-0 and secure a semifinal berth in the 1st Chandel Christian Village Cup 2022 being organised by the Chandel Christian Youth Club at District Sports Complex, Chandel.
The first quarter final match of the tournament saw Japhou FC enjoying a slight edge in the terms of possessions and number of scoring chances created.
And a goal each side of the break by Bunghong (17', 83') were more than enough for the Japhou FC to walk home 2-0 and book the semi-final berth.
Earlier in the last pre-quarter final clash of the tournament, FC Yaisa outlasted Kakching Danger by 4-1 goals as Chouba shone with a double.
Kakching Danger dominated the earlier proceedings and were 1-0 ahead till the break after Bishorjit found FC Yaisa's net early in the 9th minute.
The game however took an unexpected turn after the restart as FC Yaisa bounced back stronger and of a fortuitous circumstance, Roshan hit the equaliser in the 52nd minute.
Chouba then helped FC Yaisa overturn the lead in the 55th minute and there was no looking back for the team since then as Kanta grabbed the team's third in the 68th minute to extend the lead to 3-1 and Chouba rose again for his second in the 72nd minute to complete the 4-1 rout of Kakching Danger.
