Manang Marsyangdi Club (MMC) missed chance to go to the top of the league after playing a 2-2 draw against Sankata Club (SC) in the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Saturday.

Just when it looked like SC was going to inflict first defeat on MMC, Franklin Kuete Talla scored in the final minute of added time to snatch a point for MMC.

SC had taken the lead through Niraj Basnet in the 31st minute but Dayananda Singh equalized for MMC four minutes later. SC retook the lead through Uttam Rai in the 70th minute and were close to victory before Talla's half volley shot sailed into the net.

MMC's coach Rajendra Tamang said they lost rhythm in today's match and came under pressure. "Sankata had good ball possession and we gave them chances. We made mistakes while defending and our experienced players failed to lead the line," said Tamang.

SC's Bishnu Gurung was delighted by the team's performance. "We executed as per our plan against MMC. But a lapse in concentration in the last 30 or so seconds let the points through our hands. Still we have nothing to lose and there are plenty of matches to play," said Gurung.

Chyasal Youth Club will play against New Road Team in the other match of the day today.
