Imphal, December 10 2015:
Anouba Imagi Mangal (AIM), Khabam stunned United Sports Association (USA), Khurai by a margin of 1 goal to nil to secure a quarter-final berth at the ongoing 59th Sir Churachand Singh KCSI, CBE Memorial Football Tournament 2015, organised by the All Manipur Football Association (AMFA) at Mapal Kangjeibung.
In today's nail biting match, USA dominated the game with better ball possession.
Despite launching a series of attacks USA were unlucky today as they failed to find the target.
On the other hand, 10th Manipur State League defending champion AIM managed to fight back against USA and sealed the match with a lone goal through a penalty.

AIM were awarded the penalty after USA player Th Kala's hand came in contact with the ball while he was trying to clear a strike from AIM's Th Vandona.
Th Santosh came forward and did not lose the opportunity for AIM in the 29th minute.
Thereafter, both teams continued with their attacking mode but failed to break the defence lines.
USA's S Sadananda and AIM's Suresh Rai were yellow carded for unsporting behaviour during the match.
Tomorrow in the next pre-quarter final match, SSU, Singjamei will play with NISA, Thangmeiband.
