Mizoram Pip Punjab On Penalties To Enter Swami Vivekananda Men’s U20 NFC Semis
U20 National Football Championship: Mizoram claimed victory in a roller-coaster of a Swami Vivekananda Men’s U20 National Football Championship quarterfinal, defeating Punjab in a penalty shootout after the latter came back to level the score from being two goals down. The northeastern side eventually won the shootout 4-2 as the match ended 2-2 after extra time.
It was a game of two different halves, followed by a goalless half-hour of extra time. Mizoram were masters of the first half, Michael Lalbiaksanga (10’) and PC Pazawna (23’ p) putting them in a comfortable position. Punjab, however, roared back after the change of ends, Akashdeep Singh (69’) and Arshvir Singh (80’ p) levelling things up to send the match into extra time.
Contrary to the match, Punjab found themselves with the initial advantage, after Mizoram’s first penalty by PC Pazawna was saved by goalkeeper Jaskaran Dub. However, the rest of the Mizoram players – Ngurthanmawia, F Malsawmtluanga, Lalremtluanga L and Freddy Lalruatkima – entrusted with taking the penalties and did their part in scoring.
