Imphal, December 12 2009:
KSC, Lambulane preserved its first half goal against YDO, Konjeng Leikai to advance into the semifinals of 53rd CC Meet football tournament at Mapal Kangjeibung today.
Fed by S Lalmuansang, Seijalal Haokip slammed home the matchwinner only five minutes into the match for Lambulane side, playing for the first time in the final round of the prestigious tournament.
Three players were shown the yellow cards in the match for unsporting behaviour.
While Seijalal Haokip was booked in the 10th minute, H Ahmun Kom (16th) and S Bhogen (90th) were the YDO players to receive the yellow cards.
Meanwhile, no outstation team will participate in the ongoing tournament thereby compelling AMFA to rearrange match fixtures as well as announce that matches played today and yesterday would be treated at quarter final ties.
Consequently, KSC have been provided berth in the last four where it will take on TRUGPU on December 16.TRUGPU had defeated defending champion NISA yesterday.
Fatigue of players of outstation teams has been cited as reason for withdrawing from the tournament.
