Imphal, January 13 2013 :
Defending champion NEROCA, Sangakpham ended debutant Zomi Football Club (ZFC), Churachandpur's dream run in the 56th CC Meet football tournament with a 3-0 victory despite only 10 players of the eventual winners finishing the third quarter final match at Mapal kangjeibung today.
The CCpur team maintained its form till the first half conceding only a goal but the rivals knocking in two more goals in the second half diminished the debutants' hope of creating history in the prestigious competition.
Strong resistence by the CCpur team in the first half crumbled when H Chakravorti (45th) slotted home the opener with the session's final touch from a Kh Satish pass.
Seven minutes before the scorer was given the marching order for a second bookable offence at the hour mark, L Ibungo doubled the advantage with L Manitombi being the provider with second goal-getter feeding Th roshan for the decisive score three minutes from end of normal period.
The last quarter final match tomorrow at 1.15 pm will be between KSC, Lambulane and KLASA, Keinou.
