Aizawl FC vs Rajasthan FC: Aizawl Secures First Victory of the Season
Aizawl FC claimed a decisive 3-1 victory over Rajasthan United FC on March 6, 2026, in a match held at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. This win marked Aizawl’s first success in the I-League 2025-26 season, following a previous draw against Namdhari SA.
The match began with an early breakthrough for Aizawl FC, as Zomuasanga found the net in the 12th minute, setting the tone for the game. However, Rajasthan United responded effectively, equalizing in the 32nd minute through a goal from Pedro Astray, which added tension to the match.
As the game progressed, Aizawl FC regained control, with Vincent Lalduhawma scoring the second goal in the 69th minute. This goal was crucial in shifting momentum back in favor of Aizawl, who had been eager to secure their first win of the season.
In a dramatic finish, Lalhriatpuia sealed the victory for Aizawl by scoring the third goal during injury time, further solidifying their lead. His goal, struck from approximately 30 yards out, showcased the skill and determination of the Aizawl squad.
Head coach R. Lalruatfela expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, highlighting the importance of this win for their season. Aizawl FC had previously faced Rajasthan United in seven league meetings, with only one win to their name, making this victory particularly significant.
Rajasthan United, coached by Vikrant Sharma, will need to regroup after this loss, especially following their earlier draw against Shillong Lajong FC. The team had hoped to build on their previous performance but fell short against a determined Aizawl side.
This match not only reflects Aizawl FC’s potential in the current league season but also emphasizes the competitive nature of the I-League, where each match can dramatically alter a team’s trajectory. As the season progresses, both teams will be looking to improve their standings and secure more victories.
As reactions from fans and analysts pour in, the focus will now shift to how Aizawl FC can maintain this momentum in their upcoming matches, while Rajasthan United seeks to bounce back from this setback.
