Imphal, April 27 2018:
The last quarter final match of the 4th VSO Trophy State Level Cash Prize Football Tournament organised by Khongjom Circle Veteran Sports Organisation saw THOIBA FC beat SONALIKA FC 5 -4 via a penalty shoot-out to cruise into the semis today at Tekcham Kangjeibung.
THOIBA FC and SONALIKA FC played out a very competitive match today, specially the defenders on both sides.
Both teams squandered many scoring chances they had and eventually the game ended in a goalless draw during the regulation time stretching it for a penalty shoot-out.
Jekop, Chaoba, Premjit, Sushil and Arun took their shots well to give THOIBA FC the semi-final berth while only four kick takers of the SONALIKA FC, Givin, Pritam, Romenjit and Kishan were able to slot home the ball.
