Services enter quarters

It was Manipur who started the proceedings and dominated the first 10 minutes. The first scoring chance came in the fourth minute itself but mid-fielder, Manglem Jao Singh’s full volley front left safely landed to Anil Kumar, the Army custodian.

Four minutes later, Services’ attempt was defused by Manipur custodian.

Manipur could have scored in the 19th minute. But the golden opportunity was squandered by striker T Narendrakumar who, instead of placing at the empty post from a hand shaking distance, shot wide.
