That's all from the Hero I-League action today as we saw the points split between Mohun Bagan and Aizawl FC at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Aizawl, Mizoram. This is Gaurav Kadam, signing off. See you soon!
The match, which was calm and composed for the most part was ignited after 73 minutes of play that saw two goals being scored with a penalty awarded to the visitors. Alfred Jaryan received his marching orders at the end but Aizawl held on at the end.
90+2' - Kobayashi is put through by a long ball from Dodoz on the counter and the striker crosses it into the box but the Mohun Bagan defenders clear the ball.
89' - RED CARD!! Alfred Jaryan has been sent off by the referee for a cynical tackle on Akram Moghrabi as late drama ensues at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in the final minutes.
78' - Immediate action at the other end as Ionescu's effort from inside the box comes off the woodwork as Bagan defenders shout at each other after the ball goes out.
77' - Manandeep Singh takes the spot-kick and blasts it into the bottom corner. It was so powerful that it went past the net through a hole. All square in the match now.
75' - PENALTY to MOHUN BAGAN!! The game has come to life in Aizawl. Moghrabi gets in a good position in the box after a long ball and Avilash Paul rushes in to take him out and the ref points to the spot.
73' - GOAL!!! Aizawl have taken the lead!! Dodoz crosses it in from the left and super-sub Khawlhring gets the goal. He connected well on the cross and the shot, which was initially saved by Shilton Paul but it looped over and went into the goal to his dismay.
55' - Manandeep Singh has been booked for a late challenge on David Lalrinmuana as the Aizawl midfielder got ahead of him to the ball but was tripped by his extended leg.
An evenly contested half comes to an end in Aizawl as the scores are tied at 0-0. Stay tuned for all the second half action as we return after a short break.
42' - Good ball from Nikhil Kadam into the path of Akram Moghrabi in the box but Dinliana does well to shield the Lebanese striker who had turned well and was about to pull the trigger.
40' - Aizawl FC players protest the referee after he stops play as they were on the attack but Aizawl's Albert had gone down on the right flank with a slight knock.
37' - Leonce Dodoz wins the ball in the midfield and makes a run towards the box and lets go with an effort from outside the box but it is straight into Paul's hands as a good chance goes begging for the home go.
