U19 SPL:Royal Wahingdoh U-19 script first SPL win of the season

Goals by Maitshaphrang Nengnong, Jerry Zonunsanga, and Donborlang Nongkynrih saw Royal Wahingdoh U-19 walk home with a comprehensive yet nail-biting victory over a spirited Malki in their U-19 Shillong Premier League match at Polo on Friday. 

The junior Royals, fielding a majority of their youth players from the U-16 squad, could have increased the scoreline if not for a number of opportunities going to waste especially in the first half.

Striker Maitshaphrang Nengnong gave Wahingdoh the lead early on in the 18^th minute after beating the keeper. The lead was then doubled in the 37^th minute after Jerry Zonunsanga scored following a lapse in the Malki defence.

Malki, however, came back hard soon after the break and came close to scoring on a few occasions. They were finally rewarded in the 87^thminute through a goal by Shasbar Mawlong but conceded a third goal with Wahingdoh newcomer Donborlang Nongkynrih contributing a 90^thminute conversion.

The U-19 side looked a stronger lot after their first appearance against Nangkiew Irat on Tuesday where they lost 1-0, playing an attacking game especially in the first half.
