Imphal, May 28 2019:
Thoi FC came back twice to see off Sekta FC by 3-2 goals in the first semi-final match of the Lambamayum Nongthon Singh Memorial Soccer Tournament organised by NGL Nongpok Lourambam at its playground.
It was a very competitive match as Sekta FC took the lead off a penalty kick taken by Denechandra in the 15th minute but Mahesh of Thoi FC drew level the very next minute before reversing the lead in his team's favour in the 30th minute.
Sekta FC then opened up the second half positively dominating the ball and found the equaliser off another spot kick which was converted into goal yet again by Denechandra.
Thoi FC however did not take it long to seize control of the ball again and paced up their attack in search of the lead and eventually they retained the lead in the 48th minute when Phalguni banged in a powerful shot from a vital area.
The goal proved its worth enough to be the winner as Sekta FC failed to come up with the equaliser in the latter part of the game.
