The other game in the group between Meghalaya and Rajasthan ended 4-0 in the former\u2019s favour.<p>Kerala and Meghalaya currently occupy the top two respective spots in Group A, with three points each; the side from the south are ahead on goal difference. Rajasthan are third and Bihar fourth, with both teams having accrued a point apiece.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a completely dominant second-half display, Kerala outplayed Bihar, as Sreehari Unnikrishnan (16\u2019, 45\u2019) scored a first-half brace, while Muhammed Shadil PP (68\u2019, 75\u2019) netted two in the second. Mohammed Adhnan (53\u2019), Calwin Thomas (59\u2019), Alfas KE (90+1\u2019), and Muhammed Shahil CK (90+3\u2019) scored one each. Sadique Rahman scored the only consolation goal for Bihar in the 84th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the other game, a hat-trick by Deibormame Tongper (50\u2019, 54\u2019, 74\u2019-p) propelled Meghalaya to a comfortable 4-0 victory against Rajasthan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meghalaya found their first goal of the game through Riborlang Lyngdoh Lyngkhoi in the 39th minute, as the midfielder received a grounded corner towards the edge of the box and sent a right-footed shot swirling into the net.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second half was all about Tongper, who scored his first courtesy of a classic tap-in, before lacing a powerful shot into the back of the net for his second. A 74th-minute penalty afforded the Meghalaya forward the opportunity to complete his hat-trick.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Monday, hosts Chhattisgarh defeated Andaman &amp; Nicobar 4-0 on the opening day of Group B of the Swami Vivekananda U20 Men's National Football Championship at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground.
