At Luwangsangbam ground, hosts NEROCA, Shangakpham, blanked SSU, Singjamei 2-0 with L Nabachandra finding the rivals’ net five minutes into the game before S Thomas sealed the match with an 86th minute strike.

51st Sir Churachand Football

NISA nail Manipur Police, enter CC Meet final:

Imphal, Dec 6: Resurgent Thangmeiband side NISA's sojourn in the ongoing 51st Sir Churachand Singh KCSI CBE Memorial Football Tournament continues as the former finalists stunned the competition's multiple time winners Manipur Police Sports Club (MPSC) after an absorbing 5-4 win via the tie-breaker here on Thursday.

In the first semi-final played at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium, NISA, whose maiden entry to the final was in 1969 and repeated the feat again in 1994, were the better side of the day particularly after the lemon break.

With normal time ending in a 1-1 draw, penalty shoot-out was applied to decide the winner wherein NISA ultimately emerged victors when S Manimohan, M Abhiraj, W Ngamba and K Ajitkumar scored from the spot while Charan Rai shot wide.

For the police side, N Maimu, I Nilakumar and Ng Jenendra were successful as O Somorendro and Duanmei Kamson's shots ballooned over the crosspiece.

Another Story:

Earlier in the match, NISA set the tempo when M Abhiraj curled in from about 20 yards only three minutes into the game.

The match official awarded the free kick after MPSC's K Premkumar handled the ball in trying to defend a Charan Rai salvo.

The police side also responded in similar fashion as Abhiraj was ruled to have handled the ball in checking Nilakumar at the edge of the penalty box in the 19th minute.

The resultant free kick executed by Ksh Kanta left the NISA custodian gaping.

With no change in the scoresheet in the opening session which was marked by scrappy display from the first semi-finalists, the second half began with both sides looking for goals that never were to be.

The match was marred by numerous stoppages with the medical team being the busiest of all even as three MPSC players were yellow carded for unsporting conduct.

Even though NISA was the dominant side after the change of ends, lack of cohesion among their frontline players wasted some good scoring chances provided by the schemers.

For MPSC, their lethal striker I Nilakumar, who is the joint top scorer along with AMOFA's Th Joychandra on six each, was ineffective as NISA's wily Kh Ratan shadowed the police striker throughout the match.

MPSC, apart from lifting the coveted trophy four times, including a joint winner, had entered the summit round for a record nine times.

In the final scheduled to be played on December 9, NISA will face the winner of tomorrow's (Friday) second semi-final between AMOFA, Moirang, and SSU, Singjamei.

For the record, reigning champions SSU had won the title on four occasions in six entries to the final.

AMOFA are yet to reach the final.

51st Sir Churachand Football

NISA in CC Meet semi-finals; MPSC rout NP:

Imphal, Dec 2: NISA (Thangmeiband) became the first team to advance into the semi -finals of the 51st Sir Churachand Singh KCSI CBE Memorial Football Tournament after scripting a hard fought 3-2 victory over ESU (Wangkhei) at Mapal Kangjeibung on Sunday.

While the Thangmeiband side produced their best performance so far in the prestigious competition after a lapse of nearly 13 years, MPSC won a battle between two police sides when they sent home Nagaland Police with a 4-0 thrashing in another quarter-final league tie this afternoon.

NISA's previous record was a final entry in 1994. NISA's remarkable resurgence in the current edition of the tournament nearly met its nemesis in the form of the Wangkhei side who literally fought till the end before O Pritam triggered joyous scenes with a 90th minute winner off a Ch Dhanakumar pass.

ESU, who had also lost the first match by a solitary in the double leg competition between the two, showed glimpses of its champion stuff when Th Pravinkumar scored four minutes into the game.

The lead, however, lasted only three minutes as Charan Rai restored parity and struck his and NISA's second in the 10th minute.

Sensing victory, NISA supporters had even begun to celebrate but were brought down to earth with a thud after Reagan Kom equalised for ESU three minutes from end of normal time before Pritam sounded the former finalists' arrival to the top level of football competition.

The otherwise exciting contest was marred by five bookings including three ESU players.

While the NISA versus ESU clash had all the elements of an edge of the seat thriller, MPSC was clearly the dominant side in the day's first match against Nagaland Police even though the breakthrough came near the half-time whistle.

For MPSC, veteran striker I Nillakumar scored thrice (43rd, 56th, 86th) in addition to setting up Ksh Kanta for the team's third in the 73rd. MPSC will play YWC, Thambalkhong to decide who advance into the semi-final from Group P.

YWC has three points as it had defeated NP 2-0.

Sir Churachand Football Meet

YWC, NISA win at 51st CC Meet:

Imphal, Nov 30: YWC, Thambalkhong and NISA, Thangmeiband won their respective quarter-final encounters in the 51st CC Meet at Mapal Kangjeibung here on Friday.

In the first match, YWC blanked Nagaland Police with goal in each half.

Kh Ronald put YWC on the best possible start with a first minute goal while L Indramani consolidated the lead in the third minute of the second half.

The policemen had a solid chance to equalise in the 13th minute, but Vileibeizo's attempt was thwarted by YWC goalkeeper Kh Sushil Kumar.

The Nagaland striker was given the yellow card in the 83rd minute of play.

On the other hand, NISA's Charan Rai's 59th minute penalty strike earned them full points against ESU, Wangkhei.

Th Surjit and Th Pravin Kumar of ESU and Y Raju Mangang of NISA were cautioned with yellow cards.

In tomorrow's fixture at 12.05 noon, NEROCA, Sangakpham meet AMOFA, Moirang in the first match while at 1.45 pm, SSU meet City Club, Heirok in the second match.
