Bhubaneswar: Regional Football Club (RFC) rode on a twin strike by Moman Vaipei to record an emphatic 3-0 victory over Kalinga Football Academy (KFA) in a match of 14th Gati Krushna memorial (Division-B) football tournament here, Tuesday.
Moman who had a relatively quiet tournament so far gave RFC the lead in the 12th minute. Latching onto a pass from midfield, Moman dribbled past a couple of opposition defenders to shoot from close range and beat the rival custodian.
Moman doubled the score 17 minutes later. This time his powerful long-ranger beat the KFA goalie all ends up. In between the two Moman goals, Surmani Singh got his name on the scoreboard in the 25th minute.
