Salva Chamoro was in the bench for the away side in the inaugural match of the season. The defensive blocker Sheikh Sahil was also not the part of the starting eleven on Saturday. As a result of it the playmaker of Mohun Bagan, Joseph Beitia had to play in the defensive midfield area.
In the second half, Kibu Vicuna brought in Sheikh Sahil, Salva Chamoro and Sheikh Faiaz. However, they were also not able to bring any impact in this match. On the other hand, Aizawl were trying to manage at least one point from this game. They deployed a defensive strategy for the whole 90 minutes.
