Imphal, October 19 2022:
Young Physiques Union (YPHU)-Lalambung Makhong ended their 4-game losing run in the 15th Manipur State League with a 1-0 win over KLASA-Keinou today at Mini Stadium, Bishnupur.
The lone goal that helped YPHU seal first three points in Group A competition was scored by Moirangthem Manisana in the 7th minute of the match.
The later part of the game saw KLASA who had registered three wins in previous four games, struggling hard to pull level but YPHU did well to thwart all incisive runs from their rivals to walk away 1-0 winners.
The day also saw NEROCA FC go down by a goal to Kshetri Iril Mapal Youth Club (KIYC) as Ngangbam Naocha scored the winner at the stroke of half time.
NEROCA FC enjoyed more possession and had better scoring chances but it was against the run of play that KIYC took the lead just before the break.
KIYC then held on to their lead well in the remaining half while stringing some attacks whenever they had chances against NEROCA FC who were desperate to pull level and maintain unbeaten run in the Group B competition of the top flight club tournament in the State.
MPSC will play NESU in the next Group A match tomorrow from 12.10 pm at the same venue before DM RAO take on GSC in a Group B match from 2.20 pm.
