Earlier, both teams wasted plenty of opportunities in the ninety minutes and couldn't find the back of the net. Dhangadhi put pressure on Butwal throughout the first half but Butwal created opportunities in the sec...

By a Staff Reporter Kathmandu (HamroKhelkud) - Pokhara Thunders and Lalitpur City FC have played the first goalless draw of the second edition of the Nepal Super League. The sides, who were looking for their second wins of this edition, ended the match with no goals. Lalitpur, who were, for many, the best-performing team in the first round of matches, couldn't repeat anything similar against Pokhara, who had more of the ball throughout the match. Lalitpur were struck with a blow as their striker Papa Kebe and defender Sanish Shrestha had to be taken off due to an apparent injury early in the match. Pokhara's Stephan Annor's cross in the fifth minute was headed clear by Omolaja Kareem. Pokhara struck the upright in the next minute. Franklin Talla's long-ball was met by Moses ...

A Bimal Gharti Magar cut-back aimed for Utsab Rai inside the six-yard box was deflected towards the goal by Shokhrukh. But Kathmandu dug deep and got an equalizer. Nkengue Junior's acrobatic volley attempt from the edge of the box found its way to the top corner of Bishal Shrestha's goal to force a draw for his team.

Chitwan's Rafiq Aminu squandered a golden opportunity early on in the match off a Torric Jebrin pass. Stephan Kojo's header in the ninth minute off Pokhara marquee Ayush Ghalan cross went wide of the post. Ayush Ghalan's long-range strike in the 14th minute didn't have enough curl to go into the top corner.

Kathmandu (HamroKhelkud) - Defending champions Kathmandu RayZrs have made a winning start to the second edition of the Nepal Super League (NSL). Bal Gopal Maharjan's side defeated Sporting ilam de Mechi FC by a slender margin of 1-0 to get three points on board at the very start of the campaign. Substitute Rajiv Lopchan's solitary goal in the second half was ample in Kathmandu's victory. However, the match was far from entertaining for the fans who were present at the Dasharath Stadium for the opening day, which included a grand opening ceremony. There weren't many chances created in the entirety of the match. Kathmandu's number ten Shokhrukh's long-range effort was saved by Ilam's marquee skipper Bikesh Kuthu who captained his opponents to the title in the first edition. Ilam'...
