It was the Bengal outfit who came really close to scoring on a couple of occasions in the first half but some brave goalkeeping from Aizawl FC goalkeeper Lalawmpuia ensured that the first 45 minutes of the game ended evenly balanced without any goals being scored.

It was Lalawmpuia`s heroics at the goal post that kept Aizawl FC alive in the game till the last minute before the youngster made the only mistake of the game conceding a penalty in the last minute of the injury time.

Aizawl FC had missed their closest chance to score a few seconds back through Andrei Ionescu. The second quarterfinal of the Super Cup 2018 will be played between I-League outfits Mohun Bagan and Shillong Lajong FC on April 11.
