Mizoram wins 68th Santosh Trophy

Mizoram won its maiden Santosh Trophy for Football by defeating Railways by 3-0. With this win Mizoram became the second team from the North-East, after Manipur, to win the Santosh Trophy. Making its first appearance in the final, Mizoram conquered a diffident start to overpower a well-prepared Railways and gifted a big gathering of its passionate supporters at the Kanchenjungha Stadium a memorable evening.

Mizoram had taken a lead of one nil in the first half through a goal by captain Zeco Zoram Sanga. Zoram Sanga surged again in the 59th minutes to make it two nil for his team. In the dying moments of the match Lalrin Puia made it three- nil and sealed the match for Mizoram. Railways had bagged the Santosh Trophy in 1966.
