The goal sent the Rangdajied supporters into jubilation and set the tone for an intense battle on the field.

They came close to equalizing on two occasions, with Kynjai Marthong heading a free-kick just wide and Shelbikstar Marngar’s shot taking a deflection and going astray.

The second half witnessed end-to-end action as Rangdajied United sought to extend their lead while Khliehmawlieh continued their search for an equalizer. Both teams had their opportunities, but a combination of solid defending and missed chances kept the scoreline unchanged.

At halftime, the Meghalaya Football Association (MFA) took the opportunity to recognize the efforts of the associations affiliated with them. Cheques of Rs 2 lakh each were handed out to all the associations for organizing local leagues in their respective areas, highlighting the MFA and State Government’s commitment to strengthening football infrastructure across all districts and creating a pathway to success.

In a short speech, MFA President Larsing LD Sawyan expressed gratitude to the Government of Meghalaya for their continuous support in making the Meghalaya State League possible. The government has been fully funding the league since its inaugural edition in 2017-18, ensuring its growth and success.

Additionally, clubs that qualified for the MSL received Rs 1 lakh each, with the semifinalists receiving an additional Rs 1 lakh.

Banshanlang Sten of Rangdajied United FC was recognized as the best goalkeeper with the Golden Glove award, while the Golden Ball for the best player went to U-21 sensation Tremiki Lamurong, further highlighting Rangdajied United’s outstanding campaign.
