Group fmatches

Swami Vivekananda U20 National Football: Mizoram moved to the top of Group F in the Swami Vivekananda U20 National Football Championship when they picked up their second consecutive win at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama ground on Tuesday.

While the hard-fought 3-2 win over Maharashtra took Mizoram to six points from two matches, Meghalaya’s win over Rajasthan by an identical margin later in the day opened up the possibilities of three teams ending up with six points each, on the concluding day of the group matches on Thursday.

Both Meghalaya and Rajasthan now have three points apiece, and the lone spot in the quarterfinal from this group could only be decided after Mizoram meet Rajasthan and Meghalaya play Maharashtra on Thursday.
