Eagle Trophy
ITBP enter knock-
NAHARLAGUN, Aug 9: Defending champions ITBP today secured their place in the knockout stages of the ongoing Eagle Trophy when they beat Capital Complex SC in a hard fought match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here.
Despite both teams making surging runs towards the opposition goal posts, they were unable to break the deadlock in the first half. The story of the second half was much the same with neither team managing to get anything on the score board. It would take intense and constant pressure for ITBP to finally taking the lead in the 70th minute with a Bipul Chandra strike. Chandra’s lone goal would be enough to seal the deal for ITBP.
Earlier in the first match of the day, goals from Rocky Ramching and Pura Byai on either side of the halves ensured Bamang Taji FC a victory over their opponents FC Nyapin.
The FC Nyapin players were unable to get their name on the score sheet and the match
