Friends Club (FC) beat Sankata Club (SC) 2-0, Armed Police Force (APF) beat Brigade Boys Club (BBC) 2-1, New Road Team (NRT) thrashed Jawalakhel Youth Club (JYC) 4-0 while Mahendra Police Club (MPC) were held to a goalless draw against Rani Pokhari Corner Team (RCT) in the matches played in the ANFA Martyrs’ Memorial “A” Division League Football Tournament today.
Mahendra Police Club continued its woeful form as they could not score any goals against RCT and the match ended in a goalless draw at Dashrath Stadium. MPC did press for a goal, but RCT were stubborn enough to tide their attacks.
In the other game played at the same stadium, NRT thrashed JYC 4-0 to provide some hopes to eye the top four position in the league. Yougal Kishor Rai scored an opener in the 14th minute and then there was no turning back. Sunil Subedi struck twice in the 22nd and 38th minute while Binod Lama completed the rout in the 59th minute. JYC were completely hapless against NRT.
Elsewhere at Halchowk Stadium, APF barely managed to outclass BBC that saw a late goal from defender Dhan Bir Chowdhary to seal the match. Ganesh Lawati put APF ahead in the 79th minute, but leading goal scorer Obagbemiro Junior scored an equalizer late in 90+1 minutes. The game was surely heading for a draw, but Dhan Bir Chowdhary sealed the match scoring through a spot kick in 90+2 minute.
In another match at the same venue, Friends Club rode the crest of Nigerian import Chuka and Chandra Tamang to beat Sankata Club 2-0. Sankata Club continued its pathetic show with three consecutive losses.
