Imphal, August 10:
PYA, Kairang blanked XI Star SU, Akampat 2-0 in the MK Ghanendrajit Memorial Super Division Football League Tournament at Khabeisoi ground today while in the M Ibobi Memorial Division I League tournament at the same venue UPAA, Kyamgei and YDC, Langdum were locked in a 3-3 draw.
PYA capitalised on a weakened Akampat side whose T Ibomcha recieved the marching order in the 25th minute for infringing upon Kabir who had a clear chance to score the former's opener having weaved around the rival custodian.
Even though the resultant penalty taken by Khan ballooned over the crosspiece, Sanjib found the breakthrough 15 minutes into the second half.
Manir Khan doubled the lead with a 63rd minute header from a Kabir cross.
In the tied UPAA versus YDC match in the M Ibobi league competition, Kiran scored two (2nd 61st) and Hemjit one (82nd) for the Kyamgei side as Suresh (21st, 25th) and Ch Sunil (35th) shared the YDC goals.
