Imphal, November 08:
In inconsequential ties, GFC, churachandpur overpowered PYC, Phoudel 3-1 as YWO, Bishnupur and SU, Sagolband were locked in a goalless draw in the 50th CC Meet football tournament at Mapal Kangjeibung today.
the GFC-PYC tie began with Joel Jamminlen Haokip opening the former�s score in the seventh minute off a Ginlensiam Ngaihte essay.
After two yellow card bookings marked remaining period of first session, the change of end saw the Phoudel side level when L Indramani fed Md Riyaz Khan to ruffle the GFC net in the 57th minute.
However, the equaliser did not dampen GFC who regained the lead with Gin-lemsiam finding Ginkhan- ching Ngaihte near the Phoudel goal and the latter slotting home in the 70th.Another brilliant display by Jangthang Haokip saw the Ccpur side seal the match five minutes later and walk home with some pride restored.
Both had lost to group champions NEROCA in their previous matches.
On the otherhand, YWO and SU finishing their Group C campaign on a goalless draw made no difference to ESU, Wangkhei having won both its matches.
With only one from each group advancing to the quarter finals and despite both knowing their fate before the kick-off, neither showed signs of giving up the fight to redeem some pride.
Marred by four yellow card bookings, the YWO versus SU clash saw both miss several scoring chances to ultimately end their campaign on a listless note.
