KANGPOKPI, Oct 20: Despite a disturbing rainfall that almost disrupted the ongoing KFA's open night tournament again, TAYWA Tusam Area Saikul had a narrow 1-0 win over BPES Eimi Imphal in the seventeenth match of the tournament yesterday night.
In the second match of the night, Konghom Area Youth Development Union (KAYDU) played out a 1-1 draw with Somphung Youth Club. Somphung Youth Club led the game 1-0 after its striker Lamminlen found the opener in the 42nd minute but KAYDU managed to find an equalizer when Lengoumang struck home in the 53rd minute.
In the last match of the night, N Songlung Youth Club (NSYC) defeated FC Saron 2-0 thanks to goals by Sasang (41') and Kamkhosat (50').
The KFA authorities were in a dilemma as rain failed to stop till late this evening since the nonstop moderate rainfall had already created the ground into a mess and if the rain gets worsened there is the possibility of halting the coming matches.
However, the scheduled matches for tonight went ahead as scheduled with Thangkhochon Haokip, MPS, Addl SP (LO) Kangpokpi kicking off the matches.
KFA official t-shirt was also launched tonight by the MPS officer.
