Vanlalthanga guides FC Venghnuai to second spot in MPL-9!

FC Venghnuai continued their steady rise in the league as they were able to seal a 2-1 win in round 8 of the Mizoram Premier League.

Looking to bounce back after a defeat against the defending champions in the previous round, Venghnuai were able to survive a first half onslaught where the Police attack missed several good opportunities.

Veteran F. Lalrinpuia and Lalfakzuala were among those not able to make the most of the chances early on.

And Venghnuai were able to take the lead 10 minutes into the second half through in-form C. Ramnunpuia who found the net after he broke the Police line with a clever run in behind.

The I-Day champions struck back soon however, when Lalfakzuala was on hand to guide in a corner from Lalruatfela minutes after the hour mark.

But it was the magical left foot of Venghnuai talisman Vanlalthanga which proved to be the winner again when he swung in a sweet freekick to give his side an all important three points.
