Dimapur, Oct. 23 (EMN): Zonipang Sporting Association triumphed against the great wall of YA Merepkong here today at the Imkongmeren Sports Complex, Mokokchung to lift the Mokokchung District Football Association (MDFA) trophy 2017.
Both the teams played equally strong; like a game of chess concentrating on the defense. YA Merepkong (from Pool A) has a strong team combination, especially their defense lines. Zonipang SA (of Pool – D) has had their strike form.
The first goal came from the boots of Imlitoshi (jersey no 8) who breached the defense lines and scored a goal, a long score from outside the D-box. Perhaps it might be one of the most spectacular goals of the tournament.
As the strong Merepkong team counterattacked there was (as expected) serious gaps in the Merepkong defense lines, and Zonipang strikers had a field day as they displayed their striking skills.
Zonipang’s striker Osen (jersey no 7) rose up to the occasion as he scored a goal in the 60th minute after tackling though the Merepkong’s defense line. As expected, the Merepkong’s defense was lacking and midfielder Soshri hit the goal which literally determined the outcome of the most coveted football tournament in Mokochung district. The winning team was given a cash award of Rs. 2 lakhs, a running trophy and certificates; while the runners-up was awarded Rs. 1 lakh along with certificates.
List of individual players award:
Highest goal-scorer: Jemjenmeren of Rongpang Reju (10 goals)
Best defender: Sujimong of YA Merepkong
Best goalkeeper: Mangyanger of Zonipang Sporting Association
Payer of the tournament: Osen of Zonipang SA
