Makalu Friends Club has entered the finals of the third edition of the Tinpokhari Cup football tournament.
Makalu came close to the title after defeating last year's champion Chulachuli Sporting Club of Jhapa by a 2-0 margin in the semi-final match held at Khandbari Stadium on Monday.
Makalu Friends played an aggressive game in the second half of the match and took a decisive lead. Jeevan Magar scored the first goal in the 9th minute of the match to give the team the lead, while Sagar Katuwal added another goal in the 15th minute to end Chulachuli's chances of comeback.
