Three Star Club (TSC) climbed to fifth on the table after a 2-1 victory over Jawalakhel Youth Club (JYC) in the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Saturday.

Ayush Ghalan opened the scoring for TSC in the seventh minute before Ritik Kumar Khadka doubled it in the 26th. Ghalan thought he had scored the team's third in the 36th but was ruled offside by match officials.

After going 2-0 down in the first half, JYC romped up the pressure in the second and found the net through Nicholas Fernandes in the 55th minute.

TSC's coach Urjan Shrestha said they were happy to score after a barren run. "We are even more delighted with the win. But we played good game only in the first half. Our second half was poor," said Shrestha.

JYC's Kishor Kumar KC blamed poor pitch condition and referees decision played a big part in their defeat. "My players played well but they were let down by the poor pitch condition and referees not being fair in their decision making," said KC.

The second match of the day at Dasharath Stadium will be played between Chyasal Youth Club and Sankata Youth Club at 4:45 pm.
