Imphal, September 29 2011:
USA, Khurai kept its hope alive of avoiding relegation after a 1-1 draw against bottom of the table YDO, Lamdong in the penultimate round match of the 6th Manipur State League football tournament at Khuman Lampak Main stadium today.
With only a point in its kitty prior to the match, YDO opened the score through an L Gogocha strike in the 11th minute.
Even though S Ratan salvaged a draw for the Khurai side with a 58th minute goal, USA could have earned an outright victory had Thangkhosen Haokip not missed a penalty award in second half injury time.
The draw fetched USA eight points in the 10-team competition, two less than third placed YWC.
