The I-League game between Shillong Lajong FC and Churchill Brothers on 6 December 2023 culminated in a definitive victory for the former, with 2 goals in comparison to the latter's null scoring.

One of the distinguishing factors in the matchup was the early goal netted by Shillong Lajong FC, providing them the initial momentum. The initial breakthrough came at the end of the first half at 44 minutes 37 seconds, which had an immense psychological impact dictating the pace of the game from that point forward. This shift was evident as there were no immediate retaliations or equalizers from Churchill Brothers, despite having claimed a significant number of corner kicks at 7 compared to Shillong's 6.

During the beginning of the second half at 50 minutes 43 seconds, Shillong further solidified their lead. In retrospect, this goal implementation quite early sealed the fate of the game as Churchill Brothers were unable to breach Shillong's defense line--a fact underscored by no offsides from the away team, and registered only one foul.

However, the game wasn't all smooth sailing for Shillong Lajong FC. They received two yellow cards during the second half: one card at 52 minutes 56 seconds, shortly after their second goal, followed by one at 1 hour 6 minutes 14 seconds. In contrast, the same penalty was dealt to Churchill Brothers just once, right before Shillong's second goal, suggesting that these disciplinary actions had limited impact on the match’s outcome.

In conclusion, Shillong's ability to prevent any offside infringements on the part of Churchill Brothers was a key contributor to their win. Despite both teams exhibiting equal discipline levels, with each getting two yellow cards and registering few fouls and offsides, Shillong had the edge with their early momentum which ultimately determined the match result.
