Imphal, October 23 2022:
AIM-Khabam sealed a 1-0 win over NISA-Thangmeiband as Southern Sporting Union (SSU) held NEROCA FC to a 1-1 draw to extend unbeaten run in 15th Manipur State League Group B competition today at Mini Stadium, Bishnupur.
In the 44th minute match of the tourney, NEROCA FC who have won twice in three matches went ahead after 10 minutes courtesy a fine finish from S Johny Kom.
However their hope of extending the winning run faded when substitute Robinson Singh Khumukcham converted a penalty in the 62nd minute to pull level for SSU who have posted four of four wins in the tourney.
Even as the two sides toiled hard in the remainder of the game to exert their dominance, neither team were able to find the winner and eventually SSU extended their unbeaten run to five games and remained on top of Group B table with 13 points.
In the 45th match of the tourney, AIM were able to register their second win thanks to Khaidem Jacky Singh goal in the 21st minute.
NISA's poor run continued as they failed to make a comeback despite few chances and eventually succumbed to 5th straight loss in the Group B competition.
