National Football Championship Ramakrishna Mission: Karnataka beat Manipur 1-0 to reach the finals of the inaugural Swami Vivekananda U20 Men’s National Football Championship Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground, here on Monday.

In what was a nervy encounter with both teams’ defense playing a vital role, it was Karnataka who opened the scoring in just the 14th minute of the game.

The breakthrough came when Manipur gave away a penalty which was calmly put into the back of the net by Saikhom Borish Singh giving Manipur goalie, Paonam Charansingh little to no chance of saving the ball.
