Jiribam, October 09 2018:
RYC, Ramgaijang edged past New Life Club by 2-1 goals in today's league match of the ongoing 8th Mazarun Bibi Memorial Football Tournament, 2018 organised under the aegis of All Jiribam Sports Association (AJSA), Jiribam at Jiribam Higher Secondary School playground.
Both teams started the game cautiously but it was Gaikaolung who broke the deadlock in the 18th minute and put RYC ahead with a 1-0 lead.
RYC continued to take control of the game and Gaikaolung was at it again when he made a solo run into the box after collecting a nice pass around the edge of the rival's box and rifled in a shot past the New Life Club's custodian in the 34th minute.
Trailing by two goals, New Life Club tried hard to return into the game and it was in the 39th minute that Thangoulal reduced the gap to just one goal.
The second half saw RYC hardly creating scoring chances while New Life Club on the other hand were pushing hard for the equaliser but failed terribly in front of strong defence line up of RYC.
Ultimately the game ended 2-1 in favour of RYC, Ramgaijang.
