Mizoram’s lead was only short lived however, as Mizoram defender Lallawmawma’s attempted to clear an Assamese cross from the right flank while defending he only managed to lob the ball over onrushing goalkeeper Lalmuansanga resulting in a same side goal there by giving Assam an opportunity to equalize by Mizoram.

The setback only seemed to spur on the team from Mizoram when Lalampuia’s header off a corner fell to an unmarked Lallawmsanga who punched in from close range and there by Manipur finishing off with 2 goals as the final whistle went off.
