YCGC took off the game on a bright note dominating the possession and scoring chances and off one fine move O Jemson found the target when the match was just 5 minutes old to earn YCGC the lead.
They continued to press MRC with impressive runs and to their delight, A Singhajit doubled their advantage in the 10th minute.
MRC however rallied back strongly with better understanding in the following proceedings and their efforts paid them back with a goal during the additional time of the first half as K Naresh made his effort count to make it 1-2 till the break.
K Naresh maintained his cool after the restart as well and handed MRC the equaliser in the 32nd minute before S Meghen completed the turnaround in the 43rd minute with a clinical strike.
YCGC tried hard to return into the game but clever MRC defence did well to stonewall all latter chances of their rivals to earn their team a 3-2 win.
The day also saw NSU and HNSC play out a goalless draw in a Group D league match.
