Asim, failed from Karachi West’s Baloch Union Club, gave no room to tired Young Blood with four brilliant strikes as Relegation-danger SSGC piled up tennis score win.

Midfielder Imran Hussain enhanced the lead to 3-0 in the 38th minute. But few seconds later spearhead Asim Mansoor pulled one back for the visitors from Sahiwal as SSGC led 3-1 at interval.
Asim completed his well-taken hat-trick in the 62nd minute, his second in the event within 48 hours. Winger Zain Khalid made it 4-2 seven minutes later but goals by SSGC’s Sabir Khan and Asim in the 86th minute and 90+1 minute respectively put the issue beyond doubt as Asim became the first man in the ongoing show to score fours goals in a match. Young Blood visited the ground 24 times for their 17 points while SSGC have 15 points in 22 matches.
PIA slammed twice in the second session to overwhelm PMC Athletico 2-0 at Sharafi Goth's Korangi Baloch Stadium, Landhi Town. PIA earned 37 points from 20 matches while PMC mustered 15 in 24 games.
