Imphal, October 07 2019:
1-1 draws were the order of the day at Chaoyaima Higher Secondary School Playground as HU, Heirok held PALYC, Phundrei to a 1-1 draw while SLYO, Tekcham and ASSA, Sangaiyumpham played out similar 1-1 draw in the ongoing 1st Division Football League Tournament.
The first match saw SLYO lead the match since 14th minute of the game through S Johnson, however, an own goal conceded by his team mate N Ajit Kumar in the 31st minute left game in balance again.
SLYO did hard to redeem themselves in the latter half of the match but failed to capitalise on chances they had or ASSA defence were simply impregnable after admitting the first goal.
ASSA also came across few scoring chances but their attempts were too blunt to make the headway and eventually both teams had to share a point each at the end.
In another fixture scheduled today, HU, Heirok and PALYC, Phundrei played out a similar 1-1 draw.
PALYC broke the deadlock as Md Nawiz Khan found the net in the 31st minute but L Dinadas came to HU's rescue in the 53rd minute with a brilliant finish to draw level.
The match ended in 1-1 draw despite the two sides shared almost equal number of scoring chances in the latter proceedings.
