TRAU defeated Aizawl FC 2-1 in an I-League encounter at the Khuman Lampak Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Although Aizawl opened the scoring through Rochharzela (22'), the hosts came back strongly with a goal in each half from Premjit Singh (27') and Krishananda Singh (66').
It was a tepid start to the match with both the teams taking a safety-first approach. But after the butterflies in the belly had settled down the hosts took the first initiative to test Aizawl's fort.
In the 16th minute, Denechandra Meetei floated in curling free-kick which was half-heartedly cleared by Aizawl's defense.
