IMPHAL, Oct 19 : KYVO, Kwa Siphai knocked OSA, Oinam out of the 6th H Pishak Memorial 1st  Division Football League Tournament with a 3-2 semi-final win today to book the final berth at Mini Stadium Bishnupur.
It was an edge of the seat contest as OSA gave a tough time to KYVO defence until L Tondonba scored a brace to complete the turnaround and ultimately the win.
O Sanatomba found the opener for OSA in the 27th minute after the two teams exchanged a flurry of runs and led the first half with the slender margin as KYVO were missing the target.
KYVO which were looking to open up their account managed the equaliser in the 44th minute with S Dhanachandra converting the chance but M Bikramjit helped OSA retain the lead within three minutes off a fine team effort.
In a interesting turn, KYVO rallied quick and it was L Tondonba who drew level in the 48th minute before netting his second ten minutes latter and made it 3-2. The scoreline remained unchanged till the final whistle as KYVO held firm to deny OSA chances latter on and eventually booked the final berth.
