Imphal, October 04 2022: An own goal by Hemam Samson proved costly as AMOFA go down 1-2 to Football 4 Change (F4C) Academy today in the 2nd AMFA Cup group A match at Artificial Turf Ground, Lamlong Thongkhong.

Later on, AMOFA pulled back a goal in the 79th minute when substitute Heigrujam Johnson Singh made no mistake in sending home the ball after they were awarded a penalty.

Their efforts to draw level however went abegging as F4C defence stood firm to deny any further changes in the scoreline.

Later in the day, WAFA-Wangoi rode on Md Esha's brace to beat Angtha FC 2-1 .

WAFA led the first half 1-0 through Md Esha's first goal in the 23rd minute and climbed to a 2-0 lead with Esha completing his double by converting a penalty in the 53rd minute.
