IFL 2025-26: Late Rally Helps Chanmari FC Rescue A Point Against Rajasthan United
Rajasthan appeared set to secure their first win of the Championship Phase after establishing a two-goal lead through Gerard Artigas and Thomyo L. Shimray, but Chanmari produced a late comeback through Lalruatsanga in stoppage time before substitute Michael Lalbiaksanga struck a dramatic equaliser in the 98th minute to earn a point. Rajasthan will finish the season fourth with 18 points, while Chanmari are provisionally fifth with 15 points.
Rajasthan United FC controlled possession in the early stages, but Chanmari threatened regularly on the counter-attack through Lalruatsanga and João Vitor de Paula Morais (Jota). Goalkeeper Dinesh Choudhary was forced into an early save to deny Lalruatsanga, while Jota later sent an ambitious effort over the crossbar.
