Churachandpur, January 28 2020:
The moment Lamthianlun slotted in a wonderfully constructed fifth goal in the 87th minute of the Raja Goukhothang Guite Football Memoriam quarter-final against Zenhang Lamka at Lamka Public Ground, a whole bunch of UKB players rushed towards him to celebrate the goal and their anticipated win.
It has been two long years since UKB won a major trophy.
This win meant that they have got a step closer to ending their drought.
But Sagolban FC remain a worthy opponent in the tourney.
Sagolband FC will be battling for a place in the semifinal against FC Zotal on Friday.
The Zenhang side were leading with Thuisang's opener 19 minutues into the match.
Three minutues later, UKB found their equalizer with Mangneo's goal.
Thangminlun scored their lead 4 minutues later only to be doubled by another marvel from Mangneo in extra-time.
Mangneo fired his hat-trick in the 63rd minute.
The spell UKB produced lasted until the 87th minute, but it was enough to give them the lead and leave ZLYC reeling despite Lalbiakzara upped their scoreline to 2 in the eleventh hour.
Fixture: January 29 (Wednesday)- Konsham FC vs New Lamka YC; January 30 (Thursday)- Bungmual YC vs Rising SC; January 31 (Friday)- FC Zotal vs Sagolband United.
