Mughahuto Chishi pulled one back in the 46th minute, converting a penalty rebound, before Ayenmongba equalized in the 58th with a well-timed header.

His match-winning goal earned him the Player of the Match award.
In the final game of the day, Red Scars FC faced Sechu Zubza FC in another high-intensity battle at Chumoukedima. Red Scars struck early with a penalty in the 3rd minute and focused on defensive organization to protect their lead. Despite Sechu Zubza’s relentless attacking efforts, they struggled to find a breakthrough. Goalkeeper Neithovilie Chalieu played a pivotal role in securing Red Scars’ first win of the season, making several crucial saves under pressure.
