SHILLONG: A late goal by Chesterpaul Lyngdoh saw Nangkiew Irat SC home with a 2-1 win in a nail-biting finish against a depleted Langsning FC side in their U-19 Shillong Premier League match at the JN Stadium, Polo, on Tuesday.

Chesterpaul scored an 83rd-minute goal to help his side clinch a tight win against Langsning, who, despite earning a penalty, were unable to capitalise on several scoring opportunities.

Earlier, Enestar Malngiang scored the first goal of the match in the 39th minute to give Nangkiew the lead.

However, Langsning earned a penalty in the 50th minute, with skipper Leningstar Kynter taking the shot to beat Nangkiew Irat’s keeper Sophi-wa-o Law for the equaliser.

Chesterpaul’s goal, following a counterattack, broke the deadlock to give his side a crucial victory.

After a late attack launched by Nangkiew, Langsning’s defence were struggling to cope with the pressure, which proved expensive in the end.

This was Langsning’s second loss, following their 2-5 defeat to Royal Wahingdoh FC in the tournament opener. They also have one victory, a comprehensive 8-1 showing against Mawlai SC.

By contrast, Nangkiew Irat have now won two games and drawn one.

On Wednesday, Rang-dajied United FC are scheduled to play Mawlai SC at the JN Stadium at 4:00pm.

Rangdajied have so far played two matches (one win, one draw) while Mawlai are desperate to turn their fortunes around.

They have played three matches, losing all of them.

In their last match they were routed 21-0 by Wahingdoh.
