In Saturday's first match at the Mohun Bagan Ground in Kolkata, Aizawl FC beat NEROCA FC 2-1.

PC Laldinpuia (37) and MC Malsawmzuala (56) scored the lone goal for NEROCA FC for Aizawl FC while Judah Emmanuel Garcia (49 ') scored the only goal for NEROCA FC. The Mizoram-based side moved to the second place on the table with seven points under the win, while NEROCA FC sits with four in 10th place.

With attacking intent, NEROCA started the match and should have opened the scoring within three minutes. In the second minute, Khanngam Horam collected Jude Garcia's pass, but a corner-blocked his shot. Horam came close to netting a goal from the corner once again, but his header was off target.

However, Aizawl created a variety of opportunities for herself. In the 15th minute, when Malsawmtluanga's header ended up straight at Bishorjit Singh's gloves, they checked the goalkeeper.

In the 37th minute, Aizawl was eventually rewarded for their attacking endeavour as Laldinpuia met an inswing cross delivered by Malsawmtluanga, who sent his header past Bishorjit Singh in the NEROCA net.

NEROCA returned with an optimistic intent in the second half and equalized in the 49th minute through Judah Emmanuel Garcia. In the centre of the field, Songpu Singsit turned past his man and found Garcia in space, and the striker from Trinidad and Tobago took a few touches before sending a powerful strike to the back of the net.

To find the winner, both teams began to play with attacking intent. However, the third goal of the game came in the 56th minute from a cross inside the NEROCA box from the right flank, which saw Malsawmzuala head the loose ball into the empty net.

However, Aizawl slowed down the game after two NEROCA FC players—Akbar Khan and Kallon Varney Kiatamba were sent off in the injury period.
