Narainpur: From two goals down to lifting the trophy for the second consecutive time, Delhi U20 scripted a sensational comeback to defeat Mizoram U20 4-2 after extra time in the final of the Swami Vivekananda Men’s U-20 National Football Championship at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Tuesday.
Super-sub Laishram Rahul Meitei (90+1’, 108’) emerged as the hero, scoring twice, including the go-ahead goal in extra time, as Delhi fought back with grit, heart, and relentless determination in a match that saw several expulsions as tempers flared in the extra half-hour’s play.

Mesak C Lalrinngheta (39’) and PC Pazawna (45+2’) had netted the two goals for Mizoram. (IANS)
