SSU in 51st CC Meet semi-finals:
Imphal, Dec 3: G Ninja Kabui's late strike guaranteed SSU, Singjamei a place in the semi -finals of the 51st CC Meet football tournament as NEROCA, Laipham Khunou overwhelmed Assam's Green Valley 4-2 in another quarter-final group tie here on Monday.
Needing an outright win to seal the last four berth against USA, Khurai, the reigning champions SSU had their own share of anxious moments particularly in first half before Ninja Kabui scored the match winner six minutes from the final whistle to top Group S on six points as SSU had also defeated City Club, Heirok 3-0 earlier in the competition.
The NEROCA versus Green Valley game began with the Assam side taking the lead off an Abhijit Nandy header in the eighth minute which was neutralised by S Thomas in the 22nd minute.
NEROCA struck two minutes later when Nabachandra curled in from near the top of the rivals' penalty area before Ksh Malemnganba extended the lead to 3-1 in the 56th.While H Chakravarti netted the fourth NEROCA goal in the 67th, Apurva Phukan managed to pull back one for Green Valley seconds from end of normal time.
Green Valley face an uphill task against AMOFA in their next Group R quarter-final match as the Moirang side would be equally determined to advance having defeated NEROCA by a solitary goal.
