Mokokchung | October 20 : The first Quarter-final match of the XVII MDFA Trophy 2011 was played between Fusion SC and Ozzys Mokokchung at Imkongmeren Sports Complex.  Defending champions Fusion handed a thumping defeat to the Ozzys as the score-line stood at 6 goals to nil at the end of the match.
Fusion dominated the game from the word go with their forward players taking long-range shots at every opportunity, leaving the Ozzys defense unsettled. Fusion’s tactical ploy earned early results as Bendangsunep (Jersey No.7) netted the first goal of the match in only the 6th minute of the game. Bendangsunep’s over-all goals tally now stands at 5 goals, the highest score by a player in the tournament so far.
Chubatemjen (Jersey no.12) of Fusion netted the second goal in the 25th minute. Chubasunep scored 2 goals in the match for Fusion, the first one coming in the 42nd minute. Just 2 minutes later, Athing (jersey no.10) scored another goal and the score-line remained at 4 goals to nil in favour of Fusion SC.
Ozzys made some valiant moves in the second half of the game making several shots on target but could not find the net. Fusion’s custodian denied the Ozzys on several counts, including a penalty kick in the 85th minute. As the game progressed, the Ozzys were making all-out attack but Fusion took the opportunity for counter-attack and netted two more goals in the second half. Chubasunep (Jersey no.4) scored the fifth goal for Fusion in the 76th minute and L.Among (jersey no.15) scored another one 8 minutes later.
Ozzys could have scored a consolation goal after they were awarded a penalty kick in the 85th minute but their strike player Saku (jersey no.10) could not make it through Fusion’s goalie Mangyanger, who was adjudged Most Promising Player in MDFA 2009.
