Jiribam, February 27 2019:
SYSA, Tamenglong made a surprising late return to hold TRUGPU in a 1-1 draw in today's quarter final league match of the ongoing 7th Ksh Nonigopal Memorial Invitation Football Tournament organised under the aegis of All Jiribam Sports Association at Jiribam Higher Secondary playground.
SYSA, Tamenglong which managed a 2-1 win against YDO, Imphal West in the previous tie and TRUGPU had a very cautious start and did well to counter one another from making any score in the first half rendering it to finish in a goalless draw.
TRUGPU however took the lead within a minute after the restart with H Jotin taking the honour to beat the keeper.
TRUGPU, with the moral boosting goal went on for more while the Tamenglong side were looking for the equaliser.
TRUGPU pressure wore on as the game progressed and SYSA who were relentless in their attempts finally got the prize when Poudikhon slotted home the ball late in the 89th minute and levelled the score to share the spoils.
