The second half could’ve been a different story for ADE FC, but they showed no initiative. South United FC continued to dominate possession and create chances while the opposition barely had a sniff of the ball.

Vikram headed home his second goal of the game to increase South United’s advantage in the 60th minute. They needed that buffer as Lalnunsiama was sent off by the referee for a verbal altercation with the referee.

ADE FC couldn’t capitalise on the advantage of an extra man, although an exciting end to the game as Jaison stepped up to score in added time after the full 90 minutes and ADE’s Raj Kiran was sent off for a poor challenge after that.

An eventful game that South United take all three points from and can now hope to stitch together a run of good games.

South United FC 4-0 ADE FC (Umesh 32’, Vikram 34’ 60’, Jaison 90 + 1’)
