Imphal, September 06 2022:
UPSA, Pukhao extended their winning run to two in the ongoing 13th AMFA Senior Women's League with a narrow 1-0 win over ICSA, Irengbam this morning at Artificial Turf Ground, Lamlong Thongkhong.
The only goal that helped UPSA clinch all three points against ICSA Irengbam in this almost evenly poised game was scored by Nongmeikapam Sibani Devi in the 49th minute after a goalless first half.
The Pukhao team had opened the campaign on a solid note as they trounced YWC-Thambalkhong 6-1 thanks to doubles from Thingbaijam Babysana and Lhingneilam Kipgen, but failed to maintain their momentum today to secure a big finish against ICSA.
In the other match of the day, MPSC rode on Ngangom Bala strike to salvage a 1-1 draw with YWC, Langthabal.
After exchanging a few runs on both ends, the Langthabal side went ahead after 36 minutes as Hoinehat found the target only to be equalised by Ngangom Bala just before the first half whistle.
It was an end to end affair after the break but neither team were able to find the breakthrough and eventually ended up sharing a point each.
