Imphal, November 29 2023:
Ngangom Bala quickfired two goals back to back in the dying minutes to guide Manipur to an impressive 4-0 win over Chhattisgarh this afternoon in the Senior Women's National Football Championship Group A at Mahamaya Sports Stadium, Ghaziabad in UP.
Having demolished Rajasthan 15-0 in the group stage opener, Manipur had a slow start to seal a 1-0 first half lead but shifted gears in the second half to walk out 4-0 winners for the second straight victory.
Hemam Shilky Devi found the breakthrough just before the breather.
Heigrujam Daya Devi then doubled the advantage in the 66th minute before Ngangom Bala Devi hit two goals back to back in the 87th and the 88th minutes to further swell the lead.
Manipur will play hosts Uttar Pradesh next on December 1 from 1 pm .
