Imphal, September 24 2022:
CYSA-Khangabok edged past SFC-Salungpham 3-2 in the opening match (Group A) of the 3rd Division Football League organised by DFA Thoubal at Wangjing Kodompokpi Sports Complex.
Th Borish drew first blood with a fine finish in the 14th minute to give SFC the lead but CYSA pulled level with Md Mukip finding the target in the 20th minute.
Md Samash Khan then overturned the lead for CYSA in the 26th minute before N Bicky added another in the 37th minute.
SFC managed to pull back a goal in the 37th minute via M Niranjan but failed to sustain their momentum and come to level terms with the Khangabok side whose defence line stood up like a wall in later stages of the game.
In another Group A match staged later in the day, Md Atique scored twice (both penalties) to help UM FC-Moijing salvage a 3-3 draw with Sana FC-Thoubal.
Md Atique coolly converted his first penalty early in the third minute to give UM FC the headway before Md Ramish Khan doubled the advantage with another clinical finish in the 11th minute.
However, Sana FC rallied back with Shital (16') and Kazipmi (25') scoring a goal each and Kumarjit adding the team's third in the 31st minute to turn things around.
UM FC earned another penalty in the 57th minute and Md Atique made no mistake in slotting home the ball yet again to make it 3-3 .
The game saw no more goals despite both teams toiling hard in the later period.
Yes FC will play FPMC from 1 pm tomorrow before KFC-Thoubal take on TFC-Thoubal later from 3 pm .
