Imphal, November 07 2009:
Imphal west DFA advanced to the final of the 21st junior Boys Inter District Football tournament where they will take on arch rivals Imphal East DFA on November 9 .
The second semifinal match between IWDFA and DSA, Bishnupur played today at Jiribam Higher Secondary School ground ended in a controversial manner when DSA players staged walkout disputing referee's decision to allow IWDFA's Amitkumar retake an additional time penalty award.
The score was levelled 1-1 before the walkout.
Even though Amitkumar slotted the ball past the rival custodian, the referee disallowed the goal and asked for a retake on the ground the Disingam had interfered before the shot was taken.
However, DSA players and team officials disputed the referee's decision insisting that as Disingam had disrupted his team-mate Amitkumar from taking the shot the match should resume by awarding DSA the goal-kick.
As the match official did not relent from his decision, DSA players walked out in protest.
