In the I-League match held on 14th November 2023, Aizawl FC clearly outperformed NEROCA FC, securing a decisive 3-1 victory. Aizawl FC demonstrated an enviable proficiency in exploiting their goal opportunities in the second half of the match. While the result can be linked to multiple facets of both teams’ play, the second-half performance by Aizawl FC indisputably had a significant impact on the outcome.

NEROCA FC took the lead in the first half at 32:45, initiating their defense mode early. The home team got more corner kicks (9) in comparison to Aizawl (5), indicating their aggression and attack tactics to seal their lead. Nevertheless, unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities was a missed chance to expand their lead.

After the break, Aizawl FC dramatically turned the tables. They made their first goal at 61:31, equalizing the match. The away team continued their strong performance, netting the ball two more times at 80:35 and then again at 95:29, offsetting NEROCA's first-half advantage.

The fact that NEROCA FC was shown two yellow cards in the second half, presumably induced by the pressure of Aizawl FC's offensive rally, could also have played a part in their weakened defense. The pressure was evident with NEROCA FC's single offside call, indicating their constant push towards the opponent’s goal.

The game was level when it came to the fouls (7 each), yellow cards (3 each) and thankfully absent of any red cards. Both teams were disciplined and played fair, but this could certainly not hide the difference in the execution of their game strategy.

In summary, the outcome was heavily influenced by Aizawl FC's more effective conversion of opportunities into goals during the second half and their ability to play confidently under pressure. The inability of NEROCA FC to capitalize on their early lead and corner kick advantage additionally contributed to their defeat. For the future, NEROCA FC might want to focus more on their defensive strategy, especially once they have taken the lead, to avoid similar second-half comebacks.
