Dhaka, February 27: TC Sports Club of Maldives moved into the final of the ongoing Sheikh Kamal InternationalÂÂ Club Cup 2017 beating Manang Marshyangdi Club of Nepal 1-0 at the M.A. Aziz Stadium, Chittagong on Monday evening.
The first semi final of the tournament had the competitive edge as both teams played attacking football.
However, the first half remained barren as no teams could capitalize on the numerous chances they created.
TC skipper Nafiu Ali’s golden touch in the 83rd minute made all the difference.
Azam Mohammad whipped a cross from the right which Manang goalkeeper Dinesh Thapa could only manage to fist away that rebounded of Nafiu Ali’s chest and ended up on the back of the net (1-0).
In the stoppage time, from a goal-mouth-melee, Manang's Zambian forward Oladipo missed the chance to get his team back into the game - driving his shot away from goal from the middle of the box.
TC will now meet the winner of the second semi final between Chittagong Abahani and Pochen FC in the final on March 3.
