Assam clinch Mir Iqbal Hussain Trophy

Assam on Friday clinched the Mir Iqbal Hussain Trophy defeating Chandigarh 2-0 in the 34th Sub-Junior National Football tournament at the Nehru stadium. The home team scored a goal in each half as they blanked Chandigarh and seized the initiative right from the kick-off.

They were eventually rewarded in the 11th minute when Milan Basumataray slotted home from close after being fed by Lalzeiram Hmar from the right – a lead which Assam maintained till the interval.
