AMOFA in CC Meet semi-final:
Imphal, Dec 5: AMOFA, Moirang, grabbed the last semi-final berth of the 51st CC Meet Football tournament after a convincing 3-1 victory over Assam's Green Valley at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium on Wednesday while USA, Khurai, defeated City Club, Heirok, 2-1 in an inconsequential quarter-final league round tie.
In semi-final matches, NISA, Thangmeiband, will take on MPSC on Thursday at 1.30 pm while the Moirang side will face SSU, Singjamei on December 7 (Friday) at the same time.
Having pipped NEROCA, Laipham Khunou, by a solitary goal earlier in the competition, a draw would have cleared AMOFA's path to the last four stage but the Moirang side began the match against Green Valley on a positive note with several inroads early in the game despite the opening goal coming late in the first half.
A Stephen Hmar pass resulted in Th Joychandra striking home in the 38th minute before the scorer (Joychandra) increased the lead to 2-0 tapping in a sloppy clearance from the Green Valley custodian in the 48th.
Stephen Hmar put the score line to an unassailable 3-0 in the 63rd minute while Apurva Phukan found the invited team's consolation goal six minutes later.
Green Valley had also suffered 4-2 loss against NEROCA.
S Ginlemlal Guite of AMOFA and Apurva Phukan of Green Valley were booked in the match for unsporting conduct.
In the USA versus City Club match, the former's RK Adarsh broke the goalless first half stalemate with a 50th minute strike while S Surchand doubled the lead two minutes later.
W Daniel was the architect in both the USA scores.
N Jasobanta bridged the score deficit for the Heirok side.
