Aizawl FC were relegated at the end of last season, but they were bought back by the AIFF to field 10 teams in the league this year. Under Khalid Jamil, they look like a completely different side this term, with the likes of Jayesh Rane, Alfred Jaryan and Kamo running riot in the East Bengal half.

Tactically, they were extremely sound as well, and at the back, the heroics of goalkeeper Albino Gomes and centre back Kingsley caught a lot of attention as well. They forced TP Rehnesh to make some fine saves, and were extremely unlucky not to win the match. If they continue with this momentum, Aizawl can be a huge threat to the Big Three this campaign.
