Kh Musaraf found the 4th goal in the 21st minute before Angamba took charge of the attack and calmly hit three goals on the trot (24', 25', 32') to extend the lead to 8-0 .

Thangneiram (34', 47') and James (40', 42') then took the honour to score in two goals each and completed the 12-0 demolition of the poor Poiroukhongjin side.

The second match of the day saw M Jamsol (28') and W Drovid (49') score a goal apiece to hand KSYC a 2-0 win against PRIYA to seal the semi-final berth.

HU FC outlasted RAK (Reliance Academy Koirengei) which saw off NEROCA FC by a slender 1-0 in the previous tie, by 1-0 goals to move into the semi-finals.

Both RAK and HU FC were evenly poised throught and shared almost similar amount of possession and attempts but a 50th minute strike by Rohel proved worthy to be a winner and earned HUFC the semi-final berth.
