Dimapur, Oct. 30 (EMN): Nyenshen FC ensured a place in the final of the 26th Loyem Memorial Trophy with an impressive 4-1 win over Vetao Aye FC in the first semi-final played at the Loyem Memorial ground on Tue. Oct. 30.
A second half brace from Imlong Chaba saw Nyenshen FC make their way into the final in style.
