LAHORE: Nepal’s Mahendra Police Club and Chinese Taipei’s Tatung shared a point apiece from a goalless Group A encounter in the AFC President’s Cup here on Friday night.

Both sides tried to break the stalemate with gusto in the dying moments of the match and both had their fair share of opportunities but the goal that would have separated the two sides remained elusive.

The best of those chances went abegging almost at the final whistle, when Chung-Tzu Chen shot the ball past the rushing Mahendra Police goalkeeper Ritesh Thapa only to be spectacularly kicked back from the goal-line by Rakesh Shrestha.

Compared to the goal-fest that this edition of the AFC President’s Cup has so far seen –with as many as 23 goals scored by four sides in the first three matches – this was rather bland stuff.

Both Mahendra Police and Tatung were cautious, the latter infinitely more so. Mahendra tried to break the shackles with some enterprising forays but none produced a result as Tatung guarded the danger zone with aplomb. In its own half, Mahendra too gave nothing away.

This produced a lacklustre first half. The second part of the game though saw creation of some serious moves, especially from Mahendra through a combination of Bhola Nath Silwal and Ju Manu Rai, both missing the target by the proverbial cat’s whisker.

It was Ju Manu who fed a pass from the middle to his right winger Silwal, whose shot was tipped over the bar by the Tatung ‘keeper, Jen Feng in the 56th minute. In an almost similar move, Rai’s kick sailed over the head of the keeper.

Before this, in the first real attacking move by a Tatung striker, captain Hui-Kai Tsai’s straight 35 meter drive was palmed over the top by Thapa.

Tatung wasted the most gilt-edged of chances in the 81st minute when midfielder Tai-Lin Teng shot wide.

Mahendra Police Club coach Birat Krishna Shrestha said after the match: “We could not prepare properly for this tournament due to bad weather in our country and two of our key players could not travel due to injuries.”

Regarding today’s game he said: “We did get a few chances in the match but the players mistimed their shots in a hurry. I hope the players will do better in the next game.”

Tatung coach Chiang Mu-Tsai said his team lacked in many areas. “The players did not get their rhythm in the first half. They did play well and were speedy after the restart but still they need to improve in many areas,” he said.

AFC President's Cup: MPC Play A Stalemate Against Tatung
2007-09-22 14:23:53

Mahendra Police Club (MPC) played a draw with Tatung in their first match of the 3rd AFC President Cup, Pakistan, in the midnight of Friday.

Though the Nepalese champions had a good many chances to win three points, their striking line could not succeed at the needful moments. Had it not been for the cognitive save by Rakesh Shrestha in the injury time of the second half, MPC could instead have a bad start of the tournament.

महेन्द्र पुलिस आज भिड्ने

पवन आचार्य

लाहोर -पाकिस्तान), असोज ३ - नेपाली राष्ट्रिय लिग च्याम्पियन महेन्द्र पुलिस क्लबले शुक्रबार एएफसी प्रेसिडेन्ट कपमा पहिलो खेल खेल्दैछ । पञ्जाब स्टेडियममा हुने उद्घाटन खेलमा पुलिसले चाइनिज ताइपेईको टाटुङको सामना गर्नेछ ।

पुलिस टिमको मुख्य समस्या खेलाडी चोटग्रस्त रहनु हो । पुलिसका आसलाग्दा खेलाडी चेतन घिमिरे र सुमन सुवेदी शुक्रबारको खेलमा बेन्चमा रहने छन् । कप्तान रमेश बुढाथोकी चाइनिज ताइपेईविरुद्धको खेलमा आशावादी देखिन्छन् ।

टिमका प्रशिक्षक विराटकृष्ण श्रेष्ठले नेपालमा वषर्ाका कारण लामो समय अभ्यास गर्न नपाएको बताए । 'वषर्ाका कारण हामीले लामो समय अभ्यास गरेनांै तर यहाँ चाँडै आएर वातावरणमा घुलमिल भयौं । यहाँको मैदानमा भएको प्रशिक्षणबाट सन्तुष्ट छु,' उनले भने ।

मौसम परिवर्तनका कारण टिमले स्वतन्त्र रूपमा अभ्यास गर्न नपाएको उनको भनाइ थियो । श्रेष्ठले आफ्नो टिम सन्तुलित भएको बताए ।

'हाम्रा अधिकांश खेलाडी घाइते छन्,' उनले भने ।

स्ट्राइकर जुमनु राई, राकेश श्रेष्ठ, पर्वत पाण्डे र अनन्त थापामात्र फिट रहेको बताए । 'खेलाडीको चोट मुख्य समस्या हो, चेतन र सुमनको अभाव धेरै खड्कने छ,' उनले भने- 'मलाई चेतन दोस्रो खेलमा उत्रने विश्वास छ तर सुमनले प्रतियोगितामा खेल्न सक्दैनन् ।' प्रशिक्षक श्रेष्ठले टिमले स्वाभाविक प्रदर्शन गर्ने बताए । 'चाइनिज ताइपेई कमजोर टिम होइन तर पनि दुवै टिमको सम्भावना आधा-आधा छ,' उनले भने ।

3rd AFC President's Cup: MPC Enter The Semi-final
2007-09-25 08:14:19

Mahendra Police Club (MPC) have entered the semi-final of 3rd AFC President's Cup on Tuesday downing Cambodian champions Khemara 6-4 in an breath-taking clash at Punjab Stadium, Lahore.

The third league round match of was a must-win for MPC to reach the semi-final to at least meet the history made by Nabil Three Star Club in the 1st edition of the tournament held in Kathmandu in 2004.

The three points snatched away from Khemara and the loss of Tatung at the hands of the group 'A' winners Dordoi Dynamo in the parallel timing made sure MPC's proud entry into the semi-final.

MPC will play the semi-final on September 27 at Punjab Stadium.

Congrats guys


Nepal 6- 4 Camodia

NEPAL did it.

LAHORE: Kyrgyzstan's Dordoi-Dynamo and Nepal's Mahendra Police Club notched impressive wins against Chinese Taipei's Tatung and Cambodia's Khemara by 6-4 and 5-0 scorelines respectively to enter the semi-finals of the AFC President's Cup from Group B.

Group A winners Regar-TadAZ will take on Mahendra Police Club in the first semi-final on September 27 while Dordoi will clash against Ratnam Sports Club in the second semi-final the following day.

Mahendra were given a fright in the closing stages by Khemara as they brought the game to 4-4 with three quick goals, but Mahendra recovered to add to its tally by another two to seal the issue 6-4.

In the second, simultaneous game at the Railway Stadium, with its leading star Roman Kornilov banging in four goals (in 18th, 62nd, 83rd and 89th minute with the opener pumped in by Artem Muladjanov) defending champions Dordoi-Dynamo gave another convincing performance that must serve as a serious warning to the pretenders for their crown.

With Dordoi-Dynamo having already qualified for the last four stage even before this last encounter, the second place from the group was up for grabs. And Mahendra seemed to have snuffed out Khemara's prospects of making it to the business end of the tournament with four first half goals against one. But then five late goals – three on the trot in 11 minutes by Khemara – infused life to the proceedings, for Mahendra too had to shun its complacent ways and score two goals to wrest back the initiative.

From Group A, Tajikistan 's Regar TadAZ, Tajikistan and Sri Lanka 's Ratnam Sports Club had booked their places for the semis by winning the morning's rescheduled matches.

Mahendra must have had in the back of their mind that goal average might come into play if the scores were even. Thus going all out, using long and short passes, they got their first goal early – in the 12 th minute when Anant Raj Thapa beat the entire Khemara defence to score. Only four minutes later, captain Ramesh Budhathoki made it 2-0.

Khemara came back in the game with pleasing display of skills in the midfield, and in the 23rd minute from the top of the circle Rotha Loch just tapped the ball past Mahemdra 'keeper Ritesh Thapa to get one back.

But Mahendra were again on the charge, and put away a brace more in the 25th and 30th minute through Parbat Pandey and Ju Manu Rai.

At the break, Mahendra at 4-1 seemed invincible. Afterwards the game was mostly played in the midfield and seemed to be a rather lacklustre affair when Khemara came back strongly to score three goals in a flash. Once Bun Vi Chet Ty had scored from a penalty in the 67 th minuted, Sokumpheak Kouch got another two in the 70th and 78th minute made the fag end really exciting.

That spree must have stung Mahendra, but they got the lead soon after through two strikes by Anant Raj Thapa in the 79 th that restored their primacy and Rijal Arjun in the 87th that with only three minutes and a bit remaining must have been really reassuring.

Dordoi coach Boris Podkorytov said he wants his players now to concentrate on tougher matches ahead. “Our semi-final against Sri Lanka ’s Ratnam will not be easy. I would like my boys to be prepared for the game as they also have a strong team.”

“We qualified for the semi-final after the second game but didn’t want to take any chances against Tatung today. We fielded our best players and they delivered what was expected from them.”

Mahendra Police Club coach Birat Krishna Shrestha expressed satisfaction after his team made it to the semi-final. “We are the second team from Nepal after Three Star Club to reach semi-final in this competition. I am happy with the performance of my players today.”

“They knew that only victory can guarantee them a place in the last four and they coordinated well and implemented the gameplan accordingly.”
