Imphal, August 16 2017:
In a rare on-field altercation, one player of PYA, Kairang assaulted his assistant team manager but match referees failed to take up any action today .
The incident took place during the 54th match between YOSC Khurai Kon- sam Leikai and PYA in the ongoing Maharajkumar Gha-nendrajit Memorial Super Division Football League 2017 at the ABA Kshetrigao Ground .
However, this was not the only quarrel in the match that ended in a goalless draw.
Around the 76th minute of the game, Lohit Gogoi of YOSC and H Abung of PYA were engaged in a fight and both the players were sent off the field.
Six minutes earlier, Abung was already booked a yellow card .
By virtue of the point table, the winning team would have obtained the third or fourth slot in the league table .
11 Star edge past DROK by 1-0
Earlier in the day, in the 53rd match of the league, 11 Star Sporting Union, Akam-pat had prevailed over DROK Andro by a solitary goal .
DROK would have rea-ched 20 points and occupied the second position in the league table provided they had won the match today but they lost the chance when L Abung of 11 Star scored the goal in the 79th minute of the match .
On the other hand, with today’s win, 11 Star has 17 points now and well placed to be in the second or third position of the Super Division League .
The second position will be determined tomorrow when UPAA Kyamgei face UPSA Pukhao at 2pm .
