In what was a nervy encounter with both teams\u2019 defense playing a vital role, it was Karnataka who opened the scoring in just the 14th minute of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They will now turn their attention to the second semi-final to see who they will be facing in the final of the tournament that is due to be played later on in the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Karnataka team\u2019s defense has to be given their flowers as they are yet to concede a goal in the knockout stages of the team. Their quarterfinal against Bengal had a similar theme to tonight\u2019s encounter as they won 1-0 with Borish Singh being the goal scorer in that game too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The final of the Swami Vivekananda U20 Men\u2019s National Football Championship will be played on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/u20-mens-football-nationals-karnataka-edge-manipur-in-a-solitary-goal-to-reach-final.jpg", "alt_img": "U20 men\u2019s football nationals: Karnataka edge Manipur in a solitary goal to reach final", "alt_title": "U20 men\u2019s football nationals: Karnataka edge Manipur in a solitary goal to reach final", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "U20 Men\u2019s Football Nationals: Karnataka Edge Manipur In A Solitary Goal To Reach Final On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "U20 Men\u2019s Football Nationals: Karnataka Edge Manipur In A Solitary Goal To Reach Final, National Football Championship Ramakrishna Mission: Karnataka beat Manipur 1-0 to reach the finals of the inaugural Swami Vivekananda U20 Men\u2019s.", "seo_keywords": "Photo Credit, Swami Vivekananda U20 Men, National Football Championship Ramakrishna Mission, Ashrama Ground, Saikhom Borish Singh, Paonam Charansingh, The Karnataka, Borish Singh, National Football Championship", "tag": "", "tagging": "Photo Credit, Swami Vivekananda U20 Men, Ashrama Ground, Saikhom Borish Singh, Paonam Charansingh, The Karnataka, Borish Singh, National Football Championship", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "u20-mens-football-nationals-karnataka-edge-manipur-in-a-solitary-goal-to-reach-final", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "719", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-05-20 12:20:03", "updated": "2024-05-20 12:20:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Photo Credit, Swami Vivekananda U20 Men, National Football Championship Ramakrishna Mission, Ashrama Ground, Saikhom Borish Singh, Paonam Charansingh, The Karnataka, Borish Singh, National Football Championship", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-20 12:20:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "905771", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/u20-mens-football-nationals-karnataka-edge-manipur-in-a-solitary-goal-to-reach-final-15310" }
