Manang Marsyangdi Club (MMC) kept their chances of making it to the AFC Cup Qualifiers alive after a 1-0 victory over Brigade Boys Club (BBC) in the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Saturday.

In the match played at Pokhara Stadium, Anjan Bista scored the only goal of the game just before half time for MMC. BBC could have taken the lead in the game after they were awarded a penalty in the 15th minute after Sishir Lekhi was brought down inside the box by Aditya Chaudhary. But Lekhi shot his penalty kick wide off the bar.

With the table-topper after seventh round securing their place in the AFC Cup Qualifiers, only a win would have kept MMC's chances alive and Bista delivered for them in the victory. MMC now have to wait for the result of the match between Machhindra Football Club and Nepal Police Club on Sunday. If Machhindra lose points against Nepal Police, MMC will qualify for the AFC Cup Qualifiers.

But if Machhindra win the match, they will qualify for the tournament in MMC's expense.
