Match No 60: Sankata Club (SC) Vs Kathmandu Club (KC)
KC, the relegation candidate came out all in attack knowing that only win will secure their place in top division football next year. And they attack from the start of the match. But KC strikers lack the killer instinct to score the goal and they paid the heavy price. KC strikers missed 3 clear goal scoring chances in the opening 5 minute of the game and Jibesh Pandey punish them in the 6th minute. Madhav KC of KC handled the ball in the d area and Jibesh slot home the spot kick. And in 30th minute of the game Raj Kumar Ghissing of SC scored a spectacular goal from 20 yard to sink his former club.

Score: SC 2 - 0 KC
Scorer: Jibesh Pandey, Raj Kumar Ghissing
Possession: SC (50%) KC (50%)
Man of the Match: Raj KUmar Ghissing (SC)

Match No 61: Friends Cluc (FC) Vs Mahabir Club (MC)
MC still need some point to move up to the relegation zone. But FC took the lead first in the 17 minute. Rishi Rai scored the FC first goal. MC scored the equalizer in the 35th minute to level the game and it remained 1 - 1 in the half time. But MC took the lead after the break in 58 minute. Sudip Limbu Scored the goal. But their never lasted long as Rabin Byanjankar scored in 73 minute to level the game and to steal a point from MC. I really thought that MC will win as they played far better than FC but their defense lack the communication between themselves which resulted in two goals for FC.

Score: FC 2 - 2 MC
Scorer: Rishi Rai, Rabin Byanjankar (FC) Bakhan Rana Magar, Sudip Limbu (MC)
Possession: MC (60%) FC (40%)
Man of the Match: Sudip Limbu (MC)

Match No 62: Ranipokhari Corner Team (RCT) Vs Brigade Boys Club (BBC)
The unpredictable BBC side played like true "B" division champion in this game. BBC took the lead in 16th minute of the match through Biswo KC. He scored from pass from Milan Chandra Rai. But RCT equalized in the 32th minute through Deepak Limbu who scored a spectacular header from Ramesh Gyawali. This draw takes BBC to 10 point in the table and they still have chance to sneak to the super six. RCT is now in 7 point and still in threat of relegation.

Score:  RCT 1 - 1 BBC
Scorer: Biswo KC (BBC) Deepak Limbu (RCT)
Possession: RCT (35%) BBC (65%)
Man of the Match: Milan Chandra Rai (BBC)

Match No 63: Mahendra Police Club (MPC) Vs Boys Union Club (BUC)
MPC, the possible league champion and BUC possible relegation favorite. BUC were no where near MPC in any terms in this match. But BUC hold MPC until 41st minute. But in 41st minute Raju Katuwal oppened the gate for MPC. Than Rajesh shrestha scored in 46th minute followed by Deepak Paudel (60), Parbat Pandey (62) and Ramesh Budhathoki in 80th minute to complete the rout of 5 - 0. This move MPC top of the table and BUC even more possibility of relegation. BUC simply cannot match the physical and technical ability of MPC. Very much one-sided match to MPC.

Score: BUC 0 - 5 MPC
Scorer: Raju Katuwal, Rakesh Shrestha, Deepak Paudel, Parbat Pandey, Ramesh Budhathoki
Possession: BUC (30%) MPC (70%)
Man of the Match: Raju Katuwal (MPC)

Match No 64: Mahabir Club (MC) Vs Kathmandu Club (KC)
Both teams are in the relegation zone and both teams needed win. But it was MC that took the lead in the 37th minute of the game. Krishna Gurung scored for MC. But KC scored in the 42 minute through Rajesh Shrestha to level the game. The result would have been different if attempts by three KC players, Gokarna Adhikari, Amrit Bajracharya and Roopesh Dhaubanjar wouldn't have hit the post. KC played like wounded tiger to keep themselves in the top division next year.

Score: KC 1 - 1 MC
Scorer: Rajesh Shrestha (KC) Krishna Gurung (MC)
Possession: MC (50%) KC (50%)
Man of the match: Rajesh Shrestha (KC)

Match No 65: Tribhuwan Army Club (TAC) Vs Jawlakhel Youth Club (JYC)
The match was really the match of miss chances. TAC should have won easily by better margins but JYC goalkeeper and defenders were on fire to foil the TAC attacks. Janamat Karki missed many clear goal scoring chances and he only has himself to blame in few occasions. This is 7th draw of JYC in the league and they are still in hunt for the place in the super six. Although TAC is already in super six, they should have collected 3 point in this game to make easy for the super six round.

Score: TAC 0 - 0 JYC
Possession: TAC (60%) JYC (40%)
Man of the match: Hari Mahato (TAC)
