The Mighty Lions continued their impressive run as they secured a dominant 4-1 victory over PIFA in their latest Group A encounter yesterday.

PIFA responded swiftly just three minutes later. From a free-kick situation, Ningzan Zingkai floated a perfectly weighted ball into the Lions’ box, which was met by PIFA skipper Sanu Thunder. His powerful header leveled the score at 1-1.

However, MYJGMSC regained their lead in the 36th minute. Skipper Tejas Raut delivered a pinpoint long pass to Sujal, who ran with pace and composure by charging into the box and finishing clinically to make it 2-1.

Second Half Dominance

The Lions maintained their momentum in the second half and extended their lead in the 78th minute.

Jay made a clever run to the byline and cut back the ball for Rajendra, who tapped it in with ease to put MYJGMSC 3-1 ahead.

PIFA’s attempts to mount a comeback were thwarted by a disciplined Lions defense. To cap off the victory, Keegan Pereira converted a penalty in injury time, sealing the win with a 4-1 scoreline. With this emphatic victory, MYJGMSC solidifies their position at the top of Group A.
