Late Comeback Leads Aizawl FC To Win Over Sudeva Delhi

Naihati: A dramatic finish to the encounter between Sudeva Delhi FC and Aizawl FC saw the side from Mizoram emerge with their first win of Hero I-League 2021-22, here on Tuesday.

After falling behind to an early Nishchal Chandan's goal, Aizawl FC scored two goals in injury time of the second half through substitute Lalliansanga to win the match 2-1.

Sudeva Delhi FC struck early through Nishchal Chandan in the 4th minute. The unlikely centre-back pairing of Ruatkima and Nishchal Chandan combined to give Sudeva the lead, as Ruatkima showed composure to deliver a measured cross to his defensive partner Nishchal in the Aizawl FC box. Nishchal saw off the attention from the Aizawl FC defenders and sent a towering header back across goal that left Aizawl goalkeeper Anuj Kumar with no chance.

With the wind in their sails, Aizawl FC completed the turn-around a minute later. It was Lalliansanga again, this time capitalising by pouncing onto a deflected shot that broke loose inside the box. Lalliansanga slid the ball into the back of the net to give Aizawl FC their first win of the Hero I-League season and take them out of bottom spot in the league table.
