USA and Wangoi Football Association (WFA) notched up wins in Tuesday's fixtures of the 2nd AMFA Cup at Mini Stadium, Bishnupur.
USA scored twice before halftime to edge past KYVO 2-1 .
USA were made to work hard by their opponents for their first goal as they toiled through gruelling 40 minutes to get ahead of dogged KYVO.
It was Yendrembam Sobha Singh who broke the 0 0 deadlock with a calm finish.
After their opener, USA grew in confidence and took just six minutes to extend their lead courtesy of Shamjetshabam Boy Singh who found the second goal in the first minute of first-half added time.
After the break, KYVO fought hard for recovery and managed to reduce the deficit in the 72nd minute through Jr Jonitson Chiru but they came up short.
In the other match, WFA ground out a 1-0 success against Football 4 Change Academy (F4C) in a tight contest.
After a see-saw battle for almost the entire game, WFA rose to the occasion with an 89th-minute strike by Moirangthem Nobichandra and ultimately sealed all three points.
