Mokokchung, Oct. 20 (EMN): SSS Blue and Grand Elites secured their berth for the quarter-finals while NU Lumami beat Unicorn FC in the last league matches of the MDFA Trophy 2018 at the Imkongmeren Sports Complex on Sat. Oct. 20
In a one-sided matched between NU Lumami and Unicorn FC the game ended 7-0 in favour of Lumami. Tongpangmeren scored five goals for the team in the 4th, 32nd, 55th, 56th and 70th minutes. The other two goals were scored by Chetsho and Imlimatsung in the 18th and 39th minute.
