KARACHI: Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) and WAPDA blasted their way into the final when they beat Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and Army, respectively, in the semi-finals of the National Football Challenge Cup at Punjab Stadium, Lahore, on Friday.
SSGC beat KPT 2-0 while WAPDA edged past defending champions Army 1-0.
