APF Football Club and New Road Team (NRT) played an entertaining 3-3 draw in the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Friday.

APF came from 3-1 down to draw the match at the Dasharath Stadium. NRT scored the first goal through Darshan Gurung in the 32nd minute. Aashish Lama levelled the game five minutes later to score his fourth goal of the tournament. Darshan scored his second three minutes after the restart and NRT maintained a two goal cushion in the 61st through Messouke Oloumou.

But Dipesh Dhimal headed in APF's second in the 65th and Nabin Lama levelled the game in the 69th.

NRT's coach Raju Kaji Shakya said his players could not hold the game after taking the 3-1 lead. "My defenders were not in their position when they got their second and poor man marking allowed them to level the score. We seemed unbalanced and they immediately got back into the game," said Shakya.

APF's Kumar Thapa said they should have won the game but had to be satisfied with a comeback draw. He also blamed the referees for poor decision taking. "I think the quality of referees should be upgraded. We are not happy with referees of this caliber. We work so hard but poor decision by referees let our hard work down," said Thapa.

Nepal Police Club will play Friends Club in the second match of the day.
