Imphal, March 28, 2014:
TRUGPU, Nambol and SSU, Singjamei will clash for the title of the 1st Dr L Bhagyachandra Memorial Invitation Football Tournament at 1.30 pm of March 30 at THAU Ground, Thangmeiband.
While SSU cruised into the summit round with a 2-0 defeat of FC Khanglai, Saikul in the first semifinal match yesterday, the second last four clash played today ended with TRUGPU prevailing over TRAU, Kwakeithel at 17-16 in penalty shoot-out after normal period remained 1-1. With both the tie-breaker and sudden death failing to break the deadlock even substitutes were enrolled for the shoot-out that the Nambol side eventually won when custodian W Johnson correctly anticipated TRAU's last attempt taken by Ratan.
Earlier, S Herojit scored the TRUGPU goal in the second minute of first half injury time and Priyokumar restored parity for TRAU in the 53rd minute.
