Imphal, January 24:
YPhU held TRAU to a goalless draw in today's match of the 1st Tiddim Trophy Invitation Football Tournament at Mapal Kangjeibung.
With both teams vying for a semifinal berth, the match began in a very fast pace with both teams attacking each other's goal mouth from the very first minute.
Even though YPhU players had the upper hand in the initial stages, their forwards could do very little to take a shy at the goal as the TRAU defenders proved equally tight in .their defence and never let anything pass through them.
Occasional counter attacks from the TRAU players during the first half also did not help in finding the elusive opening goal thus making the first half goalless.
TRAU players began the second half with renewed vigor and played a different game plan by putting more men upfront and emphasizing more on attacking the opponent's goalmouth.
However their attempts proved futile till the end as their strikers lack striking power and determination.
