Galvanised by the early goal, LYDU went in for the kill and found the target in the 9th minute of the match through Abung, who had enough time to create space for himself and take a well directed shot.

Undeterred by the early setback LFC adopted a more attacking style and they started raiding the citadel of the rival team.

This strategy seemed to pay off, as Isharif Khan of LFC pulled one back in the 18th minute to boost the morale of the players.

The second match of the day between LCDC Mamang Leikai and CYDOL, Chingkhong was a totally one side affair with the former steamrolling the latter by a huge margin of 7 goals to nil.
