National Football Championship: Karnataka trounced Ladakh by a massive margin in a group stage encounter to take the top spot in Group C of the Swami Vivekananda U-20 Men’s National Football Championship at the Ramakrishna Ashram Ground here on Monday.

In the second game of the day, Jharkhand relied on a goal scored deep in injury time to register their first points in the competition, and pipped their opponents Uttar Pradesh to second place in the group.

In a performance that was essentially a laying down of the gauntlet for other contenders, Karnataka put newcomers Ladakh to the sword, riding on Borish Singh's four goals (5', 15', 26', 31') to romp to an 11-0 victory.
