#2 Lajong's change in tactics catches Aizawl off-guard
Lajong, in general, started the game in a 4-2-3-1 formation and looked to play in that shape during the initial phase of the game.
After the initial few minutes, one could see that while on the ball Lajong had a 4-3-3 approach with Samuel and Phrangki moving forward to support Naorem. Sometimes Phrangki would stay back, and Lyngdoh would move forward.
In the second half at times, one could see that Lajong took a more old school 4-4-2 approach with the likes of Naorem and Samuel upfront. The front two policy sort of worked for Lajong as it helped them stretch the defenders and create space for the midfielders to run into.
When Aizawl pulled one back and reduced the goal deficit to just one, we could see Shillong shut down shop and play in a 5-4-1 formation, something which eventually helped them win the game.
With Alison continually changing his tactics Gift Raikhan at times looked out of ideas and eventually these small changes for a few minutes had a significant impact on the game.
