Rangdajied United are making proper use of the space left by Shillong Lajong’s full-backs and they have been attacking down the flanks. That's some smart strategy from the side!

The Red Dragons have showed great defense in the play do far. But they are also showing proper aggression with their attack.

Danzel is handed a yellow card for his challenge!

The back and forth tussle continues in the first 15 minutes and special mention to SLFC goalie Siwel Rymbai for a fine showcase so far! A free kick off Balamilynti converts into a header off Freddy, which  sails towards the goal but the goalie stops it effectively.

The I-League side is looking to put pressure now as they are looking to bring out their attacking game. Good call from RAFC to commence the hunt early. They have gained better possessions but cannot make the aim.

The dew has made things slippert at Shillong! The Rangdajied goalie barely avoided disaster as he almost conceded a goal while being under pressure from Everbrightson. A key start with Lajong flying, but the I-League soide is also fighting back. 

ICYMI, here is the Playing XI for both sides.

The first whistle is blown and here we go! Action begins at Shillong as Red Dragons put sopme early pressure.
