Power Comm go top of Morning Premier League

Kohima, June 22 (MExN): Power Comm took lead of the Morning Premier League on Thursday with a 6-1 mauling of Mustang FC.   The win powered Power Comm to topple Medical XI from the pinnacle of the league table – albeit on a superior goal difference. Both teams have 35 points from 16 games but with only two games remaining, Power Comm’s superior goal difference of +29 compared to Medical XI’s +18 could be crucial in determining the winner of the league.   Thursday’s encounter on a rain soaked D-Khel Ground here in Kohima witnessed a team effort from Power Comm as they combined seamlessly to score six goals.   Shatilo opened the scoring in the 15th minute with Gum making it 2-0 less than 10 minutes later. Sume then pulled one back for the Mustangs as the first half ended 2-1.   Power Comm were a different side altogether in the second half managing to score four goals. Senpenlo found the net right after the restart and the remaining three goals came in as many minutes – Hethanglo, Viposa and Sahovi making merry as they scored in the 68th, 69th and 70th minutes respectively.   Defeat for Mustang FC meant they continue to languish in 9th place with 8 points from 16 games.
