The second of the day’s fixtures was a lot closer between 7 Brothers and Thunderbolt Laitklyngkot. Shaibor Nongrum put 7 Brothers into the lead in the 37th minute but their opponents found the equaliser in the 61st minute via F Tynsong. Full time ended 1-1 but Thunderbolt Laitlynkot took the contest 4-2 in the resulting penalty shootout.
The next match will be on Saturday – Umphrup vs Umphyrnai Nongdalum at 2PM.
