Willane and Kebe Star as Planning Boys Put Five Past Chitlang

Planning Boys United delivered a dominant attacking display at the ANFA Complex on Friday, securing a resounding 5-2 victory over Chitlang FC to kick off the National League 2082 weekend in style.

The match was a thrilling end-to-end affair from the first whistle. Chitlang drew first blood through their dangerous forward Solomon Adeyinka Ilesanmi, who found the net in the 22nd minute to silence the home crowd. However, the lead lasted only seven minutes. Planning Boys’ Papa Ibou Kebe leveled the score in the 29th minute, sparking an incredible offensive surge from the Kathmandu-based side.

Buoyed by the equalizer, Planning Boys tore through the Chitlang defense. Alex Willane put them ahead in the 33rd minute, and just three minutes later, Ningma Ghiging made it 3-1, leaving Chitlang reeling before the half-hour mark. Ilesanmi briefly gave the visitors hope, bagging his second of the match in the 39th minute to cut the deficit to 3-2 heading into the break.

The second half saw Planning Boys reassert their control. Pratap Sing Rai extended the lead in the 69th minute, and Kebe capped off his magnificent brace with a second goal in the 87th minute, sealing the 5-2 demolition.

In other action on Friday at Dasharath Stadium, Machhindra Football Club edged past Nepal Police Club with a solitary goal from Abinash Syangtan in the 34th minute, while the second match of the double-header saw Manang Marsyangdi Club play out a goalless stalemate against Laligurans Association.
