AIM, Khabam trounced USA, Khurai 2-0 in a second leg match of the 4th Manipur State League football tournament while PYC, Phoudel have been expelled from further participation in the competition as they failed to show up for the day's other match against NISA, Thangmeiband.

The resultant penalty award was converted into goal by W Angouba.
