In the match between Muvanlai FC and Bodo FC, Mr Bedeenpar opened the score for Muvanlai in the 19th minute, which was equalized by Mr Dilip of Bodo FC in the 28th minute. Though the two team locked horns tightly throughout the 1st half, no further scoring happen.
Muvanlai players began advancing towards the Bodo side soon after 2nd half. Within 10 minutes, Muvanlai striker Seiminmang earned the Hat-tricks -- one goal in 66th, another in 68th, and again in 72nd minute. After 4 minutes ago, Bedeenpar again netted the ball in 76th minute, and followed by Liengousang in the 79th minute. Seiminmang, whose first appearances in this tournament, has now earned a feathery cap of seven goals.
Bodo boys pulled up their sleeves strengthening their positions but could not turn into reality. However their goalie saved two possible goal-attempts from the wingers of Muvanlai.
In the second match, the Hornbill FC locked horns with Indian Air Force, the crowd expectation gradually faded away when the Hornbill boys dominated the play from the very beginning. The Hornbills has tactical skills and good in passing-off the ball, so much so that they often landed into the d-box of IAF. Mr Hemba opened account for Hornbill in the 8th minute.
There was an unfortunate moment for IAF boys. It was when one player of Muvanlai FC carried the ball upto the goalie, in trying to attempt away the goalie, he was slightly knocked down on the ground by the goalie. A yellow card and awarded penalty kick. Mr Akbar turned the penalty into goal in the 35th minute.
IAF boys tried hard in the 2nd half. They precisely missed two goals. The first was by the right winger, who forcefully kicked the ball from a short distance, but was blocked away by Muvanlai goalie. The second ball flew towards the goalie, from an indirect kicked from IAF, which was caught safely by the goalie. In yet another dangerously goal attempt by Hornbill FC, just nearby from the d-box of IAF side, the goalie of IAF dived and saved it. Till the end of fulltime no more ball longer rubs the goalnets.
