Nabil Three Star Club (NTSC) easily defeated Friends’ Club 3-0 to top the league with 41 points while Tribhuvan Army Club (TAC) Army trashed Jawalakhel Youth Club (JYC) 4-0) and Armed Police Force (APF) rallied to lock horns 2-2 with Rani Pokhari Corner Team (RCT) in the Martyrs Memorial San Miguel “A” Division League Football Tournament today.

In the first match played at the Dasrath Stadium, TAC rode the crest on Chakra Tamang and Janamat Karki to rip off JYC. Chakra Tamang netted twice in the 12th and 65th minute respectively.

The Army team seemed superior in every department and didn’t leave any room for their opponents. JYC custodian Mohamad Nizamuddin was slumped with poor form as his three blunders dearly cost them.

Tamang’s superb free header opened the account in the 12th minute and extended his personal tally in the 62nd minute capitalizing the cross off Shiva Chowdhary.

Janmat Karki was lucky to score in the 65th minutes when JYC goalie Nijamuddin lost his balance while controlling the ball. Bishwo Bairag Samal didn’t have any mercy while scoring the fourth in the 73rd minute. Samal’s bullet shot penetrated a sea of defenders before finding the inside of the net

The second match saw a comfortable win for Nabil Three Star Club who topped the tally leapfrogging Tribhuvan Army Club and Mahendra Police Club.

Santosh Shahukhala continued his form scoring the first in the 12th minute off Surendra Tamang’s corner kick. Sahikhala fired home a brilliant header utilizing the sleeping defense line. The defending champions continued their rampage and scored the second through Vishan Gauchan who dived to connect the cross off Surendra Tamang from right flank.

Later in the 76th minute, Vishan ensured a deserved victory scoring the third goal in the 76th minute off Surendra Tamang’s cross.

Elsewhere at Halchwok Stadium, Armed Police Force (APF) rallied from two goals down to lock horns with RCT Club. RCT took a lead in the 10th minute through Sajan Shrestha while Rishi Rai scored the second. APF came back through goals from Dhanbir Chowdhary and Mani Pundit to collect one point in their home ground.
