Imphal, April 07 2024:
Youth Organization Sporting Club (YOSC) made a resounding to their campaign in the 16th Manipur State League 2023-24, beating Tiddim Road Athletic Union (TRAU) 3-0 at DSA Ground, Kakching, on Sunday.
Ningthoujam Pritam Singh scored twice and Sorem San-athoi Meitei also got his name on the scoreboard in the season's league opener.
It was a back-and-forth contest during the early stages of the game, before YOSC took a stranglehold courtesy of Pritam, who found the back of the net in the 21st minute.
Buoyed with confidence from the breakthrough, YOSC ramped up pressure on their opponents but they failed to make further inroads before the break.
The game intensified after the interval with a flurry of attacks and counter-attacks that went on for the majority of the second period until Sanathoi's strike in the 89th minute put YOSC firmly in control.
Pritam then put the icing on the cake with his second goal in the final seconds of stoppage time as YOSC kicked off their campaign on a high note.
