LG Independence Cup: Aizawl trounce Mizoram Police, seal final berth

Lalkhawpuimawia scored a brace to hand his side the victory against the Police side.

Aizawl FC turned on the style in the semi-final of the LG Independence Cup as they overcame a vibrant Mizoram Police FC with a 4-2 victory.

The evening fixture at AR Lammual saw plenty of action from early on as Aizawl FC's Lalkhawpuimawia proved to be a handful in front of Lalmuanawma's goal. But it was a goal scoring defender Lalrinchhana Tochhawng who opened the scoring on the 11th minute from a Lalrinfela corner.

Lalkhawpuimawia then added two more on either side of halftime as Aizawl FC looked to seal a comfortable victory en route to the final.

Mizoram Police FC, who were unfortunate in the first half to not find the net, had other ideas as they pulled one back through a freekick from R. Malsawmtluanga.
