Real Kashmir beat Aizawl; Shillong Lajong draw with Rajasthan United

In the first game of the day, Aizawl FC and Real Kashmir tried to battle with equal vigor but somehow it appeared as if there would be very few goals on offer.

Indeed, apart from the lone goal that Henry Kisseka scored in the 15th minute of the game, there weren't many goalscoring opportunities.

However, the exact opposite was on display in Shillong later on in the day, when Lajong and Rajasthan played out a thrilling 4-4 draw.

Pangambam Naoba gave Rajasthan an early lead in the 12th minute but Kynsaibor Lhud and Douglas Tardin kept the hosts forward by the end of the first half.

Allen Lyngdoh was then sent off to reduce Lajong to 10 men just as Ragav Gupta equalized for the visitors.

Both teams scored two more goals each to ensure that neither returned empty-handed.
