Zeliangrong FC and Hornbill FC to Clash for Tamchon Trophy on Dec 2

Hmar and Muvanlai FC Eliminate in Semi-finals

New Delhi, Nov 30, 2017 – In an intense semifinal of the 11th ONGC North-East Tamchon Football Tournament 2017, defending champions Hmar FC were defeated by Zeliangrong FC with a score of 1-0, and Muvanlai Athletics were edged out by Hornbill FC, also 1-0, at the Dr Ambedkar Stadium on Thursday evening (Nov 30).

The semifinal between Hmar FC and Zeliangrong FC proved to be a dramatic encounter. Unfortunately for Hmar, an own goal in the 23rd minute from their stopper, who inadvertently sent the ball into his own net while trying to defend, gave Zeliangrong the lead. Despite relentless efforts from Hmar to equalize, they couldn’t find the back of the net. Zeliangrong, on the other hand, did not extend their lead further. Both teams received one yellow card each during the match.

This loss adds to Hmar's two previous defeats in finals against Zeliangrong in 2008 and 2012. Zeliangrong, meanwhile, had lost to Muvanlai in last year's final.

In the second semifinal, Hornbill FC emerged victorious against Muvanlai Athletics with a 1-0 win. Hornbill's striker, Hemta, scored the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute, turning a well-placed pass into the goal. The match was highly charged with excitement and intense fan support for both teams. Muvanlai came close to scoring twice in the first half, but their shots were either blocked by the goalkeeper or hit the goalpost. Hornbill also had several attempts but couldn't convert them into goals.

As the final match approaches on December 2, Hmar FC will face Muvanlai FC for the third-place title at 2:00 PM, while Zeliangrong FC will battle Hornbill FC for the coveted Tamchon Trophy.

The winners will receive a trophy and a cash prize of Rs 5 Lakhs, while the runners-up will take home Rs 3 Lakhs. The third-place winners will earn Rs 2 Lakhs, and the quarter-finalists will each receive Rs 25,000.

in Tamchon Football Tournament 2017

NEW DELHI, NOV 28, 2017: The Muvanlai Athletics thrashed Bodo FC 6-1 in the 4th quarter-final match and Hornbill FC defeated Indian Air Force by 2-0 in the 3rd quarter final match of the ongoing 11th ONGC North East Tamchon Football Tournament 2017 here in Dr Ambedkar Stadium on Tuesday (November 28).

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.
