In a tough quarterfinal clash of the KP Oli Cup 2025, we were narrowly defeated 1-0 by Machindra FC, ending our journey in the tournament. It was a match full of tension, with both teams battling fiercely for a place in the semifinals.

The first half was a defensive battle, with both goalkeepers making standout saves. We had our chances, and so did Machindra, but thanks to some excellent goalkeeping from both sides, the first half ended goalless.

The breakthrough came in the 81st minute when Machindra FC found the back of the net. Despite our best efforts to equalize in the closing stages, we just couldn’t break through their defense.

It was a tough way to exit, but our team showed immense toughness and resilience throughout the match. We gave it everything we had, and while the result wasn’t what we hoped for, we’re proud of how we played and fought until the final whistle.

We’ll come back stronger next time, no doubt about it. A big congratulations to Machindra FC for earning their spot in the semifinals. And a heartfelt thank you to the tournament organizers for this incredible opportunity. We’re grateful for the experience and can’t wait to get back on the field.
