It was goals galore in the battle of former MPL champions with Chanmari FC taking the lead in the 20th minute from Laldampuia’s spot kick. The lead lasted only fourteen minutes however as Lalchhuanawma Varte equalised for Aizawl FC.
R. Lalawmpuia struck six minutes before halftime to give Chanmari FC the lead again but a David Lalrinmuana strike in the second half led to the game needing an extra 30 minutes.
Two goals in nine minutes in the first period of extra-time from Laldampuia and Lalmuanzova was enough to ensure victory for Chanmari FC despite a late goal from Jonathan Lalrawngbawla.
Chanmari FC will battle either Mizoram Police FC or Chhinga Veng FC in the final.
