Spirited show by Wahingdoh goes in vain

October 25: Despite playing their hearts out, Royal Wahingdoh were made to suffer a narrow 1-0 loss against MLP after a penalty was awarded in the 63^rd minute. The Royals dominated most part of the last twenty five minutes of the match as they followed an aggressive approach, forcing MLP to follow a defensive mode. But luck was not on their side as a number of questionable off-side calls by the linesman and several close misses denied them any chance of staging a comeback.

With the first half wrapping without any changes to the score sheet, Royal Wahingdoh showed signs of promise in the early part of the second half. However, a 63^rd minute handball by Royal defender Algan Sun in the box saw MLP earn a penalty. Striker Niwan-o-Gatphoh took the shot and was able to place the ball past keeper Karma for what turned out to be a decisive lead. The Shillong Premier League champs then went on the offensive and continued playing the ball on MLP’s half.

The Royals nearly levelled in the 74^th minute when defender Lalchhawnkima headed a beautiful cross right at the crossbar. Scrambles in the dying minutes also nearly gave Wahingdoh an equaliser, but they were somehow denied any goals by MLP’s defence. A few off-side calls by the linesman also appeared highly questionable and that also added to Wahingdoh’s string of misfortune in the game.
