SHILLONG: Nongthymmai secured a narrow 1-0 win against Mawpat despite facing some resistance in Thursday’s Second Division match at Ground III, Polo Grounds.

Instead, the only goal of the match was scored by Kynsai Kharmujai in the 72nd minute, courtesy a cross from the far right side.
Kynsai caught the goalkeeper off guard and lobbed the ball into the net.
Mawpat could not come back and came away with the one-goal loss at the end of the stipulated 80 minutes.
