I wish now Nepal make a same victory in Final. Its after a long time that Nepalese Team reach to the final of any match after 8th saf in kathmandu i guess besides those junior team. MPC r really doing great. Though the players are targeted by many Yellow card, but they need to show their same potentiality in the Filan too. I think Dordoi will come from the ohter semi final. DO u know who went to final.
Anyway. Keep rocking guys and for now
All the Best for MPC for the final.

BEFOR THE MATCH how media predict result..

Mahendra face uphill task against Regar-TadAZ
------------------------------------
27 September 2007

LAHORE: Former champions Tajikistan's Regar-TadAZ will take on Nepal's Mahendra Police Club in the first semi-final of the third AFC President's Cup on Thursday at the Punjab Stadium.

Captain Khurshed Makhmudov, who slammed five goals against Bhutan 's Transport United on opening day will hold key to Tajikistan League champions’ success.

Coach Mahamdjon Habibulloev will miss the services of midfielder Ibraguim Rabimov due to suspension but he has strong Abbos Abdullayev and Mansurdzhon Hakimov in his ranks who have the ability to turn the tables on any opposition.

Habibulloev said: “It won’t be a cakewalk in the semi-final. I have seen Mahendra’s game and they have a good side.”

“We can’t take them lightly. They have displayed good quality football during the group games and earned their place in the last four.”

It will be an uphill task for the Nepalese outfit as Birat Krishna Shrestha’s charges could only score six goals in their three group matches. All these goals came during their 6-4 victory over Cambodia ’s Khemara on Tuesday.

Mahendra Police Club have solid a backline led by experienced national defender Rakesh Shrestha with young but experienced Ritesh Thapa under the bar. Former national midfielder Ananta Thapa, Jumanu Rai and Ramesh Budhathoki hold the key to their fortunes. They will miss the services of midfielder Parbat Pandey, who will serve one match suspension for picking up two yellow cards in the group games.

Shrestha was cautious while commenting his team’s plans. “The Central Asians are physically strong than us and that could be their advantage. But I have told my boys to play their natural game.”

“I hope we would be able to give a tough fight.”

News after the match

Mahendra upset Regar-TadAZ to enter AFC President's Cup final
---------------------------------

LAHORE: Nepal’s Mahendra Police Club broke the hegemony of Central Asian teams on the two final slots of the AFC President’s Cup after beating Tajikistan’s former champions Regar-TadAZ 2-1 in the semi-final here at the Punjab Stadium on Thursday.

Regar-TadAZ may have been better equipped and favourites to make it to the final of this third edition of the tournament but the Nepalese club were not willing to give them any quarter.

The sheer grit of the Nepalese club in the end saw them emerge victorious in the last minute of the game. Now they face the winners of the second semi-final between Dordoi-Dynamo and Ratnam in the final on September 30.

This indeed was a huge upset for Regar-TadAZ and their players seemed crestfallen at having been sent packing without having another shot at real glory.

The game was tantalisingly in the balance, with Regar-TadAZ after the break time and again making serious inroads into the Mahendra zone without getting any reward for it; the honours from the first half were pretty much even at 1-1.

And right when the match seemed to be drifting towards penalty kicks, Mahendra skipper Ramesh Budhathoki came to the fore, stunning Regar-TadAZ by converting a long pass in the death – in the 90th minute.

That left Regar-TadAZ with virtually no time to recover but the three minutes of injury time. There were a couple of efforts, desperate ones indeed, but they came to nought and it was Mahendra's turn to celebrate.

And why not, after all it had done its bit of giant-killing to create some history by adding a South Asian dimension to the one-way traffic of Central Asian dominance so far.

In the first half too, it was obvious that Mahendra intended to challenge the established order by putting up a doughty fight. As both sides lost a few opportunities to get ahead, Mahendra was in the main saved with its goalkeeper Ritesh Thapa saving his side from what were really good attempts. The most mentionable of these was from Manurdzhon Hakimov in the 20th minute, and its rebound as well.

In the 26th minute, Maruf Rustamov, fed well by midfielder Umarbaev, shot the ball past Thapa with a fierce drive. On the counterattack just fifty seconds later, Mahendra's Jumanu Rai gave the ball a spectacular run and his try bore into the net only to seem being ruled off-side.

But Rai persisted in making forays and in the 32nd minute, Manu Rai drove the ball past Alisher Dodov's right to score the equaliser. There were a few more opportunities for Regar but it was not their night, and at interval the scores were tied at 1-1.

But Mahendra’s holding of their nerves and defences made them walk out with an incredible win. Mahendra had come with the intent to challenge the established order and their poise and execution helped them prevail over a far superior side.

An elated Mahendra Police Club coach Birat Krishna Shrestha gave credit of this victory to the team. “Our plan was to watch initially and then attack. In the second half, we played defensive and relied on counter attacks. I am happy that this strategy paid off.”

“Their frontline was very fast in the initial period but our defenders did their job pretty well and did not succumb to the continuous pressure. The players displayed great team spirit and determination.”

Regar coach Makhmadjon Khabibulloev said: “My players committed many mistakes in midfield and failed to convert chances that came their way.”

“On the other hand, Mahendra players displayed good spirit. We knew that it will be a tough game and it was even till the last minute but a defensive error cost us the match.”
