Imphal, December 15 2023:
Wangoi Football Academy (WAFA) rode on a stoppage time goal to hold Rising Athletic Union (RAU) to a 1-1 draw in their first matches of the 1st Premier League organised by the All Manipur Football Association at Artificial Turf Ground, Lamlong Thongkhong.
In the second match of the tournament, RAU took a first half lead through Ngangom Jiten's 31st minute strike and the team looked to seal the game with the only goal.
But Wangoi's Hidam Rakesh struck deep into the stoppage time (90+4') to deny RAU a win and salvage his team a point.
Meanwhile, the second match of the day turned out to be a one sided affair as Southern Sporting Union (SSU) overwhelmed FC Raengdai by 3-0 goals.
All the goals came up in the opening half itself as Laishram Roshan found the opener in the 7th minute before Lourembam Hillem (16') and Laishram Kishan (24') took their turns to extend the lead.
