WAFA Wangoi downed KYVO Kwasiphai by 2-0 goals in the 1st AMFA Cup 2021, sponsored by Sheikh Babumacha Memorial Trust at Artificial Turf, Lamlong Thongkhong Imphal East.

Riding on its new wave of success, WAFA Wangoi controlled the game and got the lead in the 39 minute of play when Peter struck the opening goal.

KYVO also put up great pressure on its opponent, making frequent raids, but never really got an opening. Bringing further frustration to the KYVO team, WAFA Wangoi increased the lead with E Joykishan fetching the second goal in the 72 minute for the victory today.

In the other match, NESU Khurai held on to LYGSEDA Lonpi Area by 2-2 goals to share a point each. The first half proved to be a lacklustre game as neither team could ruffle the net.

However momentum picked up in the second half with NESU player Y Sobha changing the statistics of the game with his goal in the 63 minute. But LYGSEDA were quick to reply with Paolenlal fetching the equaliser in the 68 minute to level 1-1 goals.
