Mongsenbai Ward defeated Tongdentsuyong Ward in the second semifinal of the ongoing Mokokchung Inter Ward Football Tournament 2026 on Thursday, keeping their quest for a second title on track. In a completely one-sided contest, the 2022 champions dismantled an uncharacteristically subdued Tongdentsuyong side, scoring six goals. Nungcheter, Imnatoshi, Ashish and Menjur scored a goal each, while Suponglemba netted a brace to complete the rout.
Mongsenbai will face Sungkomen Ward in the final on Saturday, scheduled for 1:00 pm at Imkongmeren Sports Complex, Mokokchung. Sungkomen Ward are yet to win the trophy and would become the sixth team to lift it if they defeat Mongsenbai, who are also chasing a record-equalling second title.
Sungkomen lost their opening match of the tournament but have been consistent since, scoring three goals in each of their next three matches. They have scored 11 goals and conceded six so far.
Meanwhile, Mongsenbai also lost a group stage match but have scored the most goals in the tournament, netting 14 while conceding four. Both teams progressed as second-placed finishers from their respective groups, with Mongsenbai advancing on goal difference.
