APF FC Storms to the Summit of ANFA National League 2082
KATHMANDU — In a pivotal day of ANFA National League action at the Dasharath Stadium, APF FC surged to the summit of the standings following a commanding 2-0 victory over a struggling Manang Marshyangdi Club (MMC). The departmental side showcased clinical efficiency, with Pradip Lama breaking the deadlock in the first half to set the tone. Yuvraj Khadka later doubled the advantage, ensuring APF walked away with all three points and a two-point lead at the top of the table, totalling 19 points from seven matches. For MMC, the defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, leaving the traditional powerhouse languishing in mid-table, a position that reflects a growing crisis within the squad’s consistency and defensive discipline.  Earlier in the afternoon, Laligurans Association Club momentarily tasted the top spot after a dominant 4-1 thrashing of Kankrebihar Club. The match was defined by a stellar individual performance from Abdul Yusuf Haule, who netted a clinical hat-trick after Mukunda Niure had opened the scoring. Kankrebihar, rooted near the bottom of the table, managed a lone consolation goal through Sonam Acharya, but they remained outclassed by the tactical fluidity of the Laligurans' attack. Meanwhile, the day’s second fixture between Satdobato Youth Club and Shree Bhagwati Club ended in a gritty goalless stalemate. While the draw earned Satdobato a minor climb to 12th place with 6 points, Shree Bhagwati remains stuck in 14th, struggling to find the offensive spark .
