KATHMANDU – The National League featured closely contested matches. Church Boys United, APF Football Club, and Sankata Club each secured important victories. None of the three matches at Dasarath Stadium and ANFA Complex saw a margin greater than two goals. This underscores the league's growing competitiveness as the season nears its conclusion.
Dasarath Stadium Results
The action at Dasarath Stadium saw two home sides record clean-sheet victories. Sankata Club set the tone early in the afternoon, grinding out a 1-0 win over Shree Bhagawati Club. Although the first half was deadlocked, Sankata broke through in the 65th minute when midfielder Arun Lama finished from close range after a corner kick caused confusion, allowing them to secure the full three points. Later in the evening at the same venue, APF Football Club mirrored that scoreline in a high-stakes clash, defeating Tribhuvan Army Football Club 1-0. The match was physical, with APF's disciplined backline repeatedly intercepting crosses and blocking shots to neutralise one of the league's most potent attacks and preserve a vital shutout.
Church Boys United Prevail in Lalitpur
In the only match at ANFA Complex, Church Boys United defeated Kankrebihar Club 2-1. Church Boys established their advantage with two first-half goals, both scored by their forwards. Kankrebihar scored in the second half, but Church Boys maintained possession in the closing minutes to secure the win, maintaining their position near the top of the table.
