Ramhlun North and Mizoram Police win in MPL Round 9
The round saw some gripping action between the teams.
Ramhlun North FC earned much needed three points against the first ever MPL champions Dinthar FC in round 9.
A goal from Lalrinfela and an own goal by Malsawma Chhangte was enough to ensure a 2-1 victory.
Dinthar FC had the first chance of the game when Liberian striker Jackson came up one-on-one against RNFC's goalkeeper but managed to only strike the bar.
They did break the deadlock when Ramliana won a penalty in the 33rd minute. This time Jackson was accurate from the spot.
But the lead did not last long as Ramhlun North FC struck on the counter-attack 3 minutes later. Lalrinfela applying the finishing touches to a swift team move.
The second half saw Ramhlun North FC gain the upper hand early on and a delivery by Muanawma from the left flank was put into his own net by Dinthar FC defender Malsawma Chhangte.
RNFC continued to create threats and came close to adding to the scoreline with Liansanga and PC Vanlalhmangaihzuala forcing saves from Dinthar FC goalkeeper Malsawmdawngzela.
