Tribhuvan Army Football Club (TAFC) saw off Chyasal Youth Club (CYC) to move into second in the table of the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Friday.
George Prince Karki and Jagjeet Shrestha scored for the departmental team in their 2-0 victory. TAFC were dominant from the start and deserved the victory which was more comfortable than the scoreline suggested.
An unmarked Karki headed in TAFC's first in the 19th minute. They continued to put pressure and Shrestha doubled the lead in the 36th minute after a period of defensive lapse by CYC.
TAFC's coach Nabin Neupane said his strikers seemed to have grown in confidence after last game. "It is good that our strikers have started to score. Every goal and every match is important for us as we have to win three points in the title race," said Neupane.
Chyasal Youth Club's Bal Gopal Sahukhala said they were absolutely poor in the first half and were punished. "Army is a very strong team and they were very dominating as we looked to play a lazy game in the first half. We have a young squad and still we have a lot to work on," said Sahukhala.
Satdobato Youth Club will play against New Road Team in Saturday's first match at 1 pm and Himalayan Sherpa Club will face Machhindra Youth Club in the second match at 4:45 pm.
