Imphal, December 27 2013 :
NU Kshetrigao got the better of WLFC by a margin of 7 goals to 3 in the ongoing 5th State Level Rabichandra Memorial Football tournment.
The margin of four goals however did not exactly reflect the tough fight between the two teams, though it was the Kshetrigao team which came out tops with an impressive score.
Setting the tone of the match Sahid Wahas opened the account for the Kshetrigao team in the 7th minute.
Not deterred by the early set back, WLFC players went on the offensive and equalled two minutes later, with Th Santosh finding the net in the 9th minute.
The two teams were then evenly matched, but the game changed dramatically, with Shobha opening a goal scoring spree, finding the target five times in the the 22nd minute, 29th minute, 35th minute, 50th minute and 54th minute.
In between M Madal of WLFC managed to slot home the ball in the 32nd minute while Suresh Rai of Kshetrigao scored in the 44th minute.
RK Roshan of WLFC scored a late consolation goal in the 59th minute, but by then it was too little and too late.
Tomorrow, WAFA Wangoi will take on SHFC Mairenkhong.
