Unapal FC earned a smooth passage to the quarterfinals of the 1st Chandel Christian Village Cup 2022 while Hnahringkhu YC got the better of Kanankhu YC to advance to the pre-quarterfinal round on Saturday.
Unapal FC swept aside MPY-CC 3-0 in their pre-quarterfinal encounter at Mini Sports Complex, Chandel.
Unapal were off the scoreboard in a see-saw first half but they came out strongly in the second period and ran out dominant 3-0 winners.

Earlier, Hnahringkhu YC scored at both ends to beat Kanankhu YC 2-1 and book a spot in the quarterfinals.
Wolnihring cut through Kanankhu's defence to give Hnahringkhu the lead in the 16th minute and Oliver took care of the second half, scoring their second goal in the 52nd minute.
Kanankhu halved the deficit in the 64th minute through Ts Nunghring but that was as far as they could manage as Hnahringkhu were resolute in their defence to make sure of their victory.
