Imphal, January 10 2013:
Fastest goal of the competition and second red card till date in the 56th CC Meet football tournament marked the last pre-quarter final clash between Zomi Football Club (ZFC), Churachandpur and NACO, Nambul Mapal which the former won 3-1 at Mapal Kangjeibung today.
A Cleaven Hmar pass saw Jolthang head in the ZFC opener only 40 seconds into the match to record the tournament's fastest goal before Erictlung doubled the lead in the 10th minute from a Daniel cross.
NACO's A Chittaranjan, already booked in the 31st minute, became the second player of the competition to be ejected following his second yellow card in the 70th minute when he retaliated against a foul by Jolthang, with the ZFC opening goal scorer also booked for unsporting conduct.
Jolthang, however, slotted home the team's third goal eight minutes later while H rishikanta scored the NACO consolation goal in the 86th minute.
In the first quarter final match tomorrow, Shillong's Assam Regimental Centre will play its first match against NISA, Thangmeiband at 1.15 pm.
