Aizawl FC came back to their winning ways in the I-League as they notched up a 1-0 win over DSK Shivajians, thanks to a last-gasp goal by substitute Brandon Vanlalremdika, in Aizwal, on Wednesday.
Coming onto the field at the stroke of half-hour mark, Brandon struck in the 89th minute to hand Aizawl FC full three points.
The match did never rise to great heights with few goal-bound actions and clear chances from either side and play was confined in the midfield for the majority of the time.
The home side suffered a setback in the 15th minute as Al-Amna got injured and he was substituted.
In the fifth minute, DSK Shivajians were awarded a free-kick from 40 yards, but that was wasted. A couple of minutes later, R Laldanmawia dribbled past a defender but he failed to find the back of the net, with his shot going haywire.
The home side increasingly became more fluent in their attacking as the match neared its end. In the 83rd minute, Brandon Vanlalremdika received H Lalmuankima's cross from the left flank but failed to make it count.
Finally, the super-sub Brandon converted the half-chance to register their fourth win of the season under Khalid Jamil.
With three more points from the match, Aizawl FC now have 13 points.
