Manang Marsyangdi Club (MMC) lost to Sri Lankan team Ratnam Sports Club (RSC) 2-0 in the AFC President’s Cup at Kuching, Malaysia.

In the match that was delayed by one hour, MMC played extremely well in the first half but could not score missing four golden opportunities. The Lankans failed to threaten the Manang defense and goalie Sangeet Razak even a single time in the first half. T

The second half was a different story with RSC looking a changed side. RSC almost scored early in the second minute had it not been for a brilliant stop by the goalie denying Jayasuriya. But Jayasuriya was not to be denied and he scored some time later to put his team up 1-0.

With the whole team pressing hard to find an equalizer towards the end of regulation, Ratnam stamped their authority utilizing a poor clearance from Tashi Tshering as Mohammad Rawme scored one minute from time.
