A glimpse of MPC Vs Banke’s New Danfe Club soccer match, Monday.

Kathmandu, Mar. 6: In an one-sided affair, Mahendra Police Club trounced Banke’s New Danfe Club 7-0 in the second semi-final of the Women Football Committee organised WFC-Mangala Devi National Women Soccer League today. The winner of today’s semi-final will play against Kailali’s Youth Sports Club on Wednesday, March 8th.

From the onset of the match, MPC girls took total command and were immensely added by unforced blunders from Banke defenders and goalkeepers. So marauding were the attacks of MPC girls that six goals came within the first half, three of them were scored within ten minutes of the first half.

All three goals could have been saved if the Banke Custodian had shown some goal-keeper-like agility beneath the bar. Following the initial blunders, keeper Chitra Shirish was substituted by Alina Chaudhary who, however, had nothing in herself to check the easy flowing MPC players and had torrid times stopping their attacks.

During their feast of goal-making, MPC girls Kiran Bajracharya, Shaukar Rai and Pema Lama gave their rivals little time to regroup. Bajracharya, Rai and Lama each scored twice for while Inkar Oli scored once to complete their whitewash of the lowly Banke girls who lacked cohesion in offence, midfield and defence. The vanquished never looked threatening the title favourites MPC.

In fact, the MPC girls scored all seven gaols at leisurely pace. Inkar Oli opened the account in the fifth minute of the game. Shaukar Rai added two more in 8th and 11th minute. Within another 27 minutes of second half, Pema Lama ran riot to score two more gaols, one each  in the 20th and 38th minute. Captain Bajracharya added one more goal in the 43rd minute to make the socre 6-0 in the first half.

Having scoring freely in the first half, the confident MPC went on making more raids in the second half. Amidst many inroads inside the rival’s citadel, the seventh and final goal for MPC came from captain Bajracharya in the 62nd minute. In the scond half too, the Banke girls’ attempts to get a breakthrough were fizzled in front of MPC defenders, Bina Shrestha and Manju Shrestha, both of them are also known as good sprinters of the Nepalese athletics team.
