Manipur Set Up SF Clash With Karnataka In Swami Vivekananda U20 Men's NFC
Swami Vivekananda U20 Men: Manipur booked their spot in the semifinal of the Swami Vivekananda U-20 Men’s National Football Championship after they beat Telangana 4-1 here at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Sunday.
Pitla Saiyashwanth (21’) had put Telangana into an early lead, but Manipur came back strong, scoring three in 10 minutes. The comeback began with a helping hand from Telangana goalkeeper Rishab Pradhan (23’), who scored an own goal. Yendrembam Rohit Singh (30’) scored from the spot to put them in front, before Ashangbam Bhaskar Singh scored two more (33’ and 72’).
Manipur, the winners of Group A, and Telangana, the winners of Group H, had an even start to the game in front of a goodly crowd at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground, and to everyone’s surprise, it was the lesser fancied Telangana that shot into the lead. A free-kick swung in by Sahil Tamang was nodded into the goal at the far post by Saiyashwanth, AIFF reports.
