IMPHAL, Oct 4 : Muvanlai Athletics held nerves to overcome Rising Athletic Union (RAU) by 2-1 goals for the second win in the 25th match of the ongoing 15th Manipur State League at Artificial Turf Ground, Lamlong Thongkhong.
Muvanlai Athletics started strongly against RAU and raced ahead with Ng Bedeenpar Moyon goal in the 29th minute. They continued to toy around the defence line of RAU and further went up 2-0 thanks to Samson Haubiakmuan's goal during the added time of the first half (45+3').
After the break, Muvanlai Athletics looked to rest back but RAU who were misfiring had to do the hard work to reduce the gap. After being denied a few times, RAU were paid off for their hard work when RS Hongreiwun found the back of the net in the 79th minute.
RAU put more men into Muvanlai Athletic's half in the late stages in search of the equaliser but ended up biting dust as Muvanlai defence did well to keep all threats at bay.
With the win, Muvanlai ended RAU's 2-game winning run and extended their unbeaten run to 3 games.
