Goal Glut at Changlimithang
Transport United and RTC FC Battle to a Breathtaking 4-4 Draw
In one of the most electrifying matches of the season, fans at Changlimithang Stadium witnessed an intense showdown between Transport United FC and RTC FC. The game was a goal fest, marked by dramatic swings and a last-minute save that left supporters on the edge of their seats.
From the whistle, TUFC took the initiative, netting the first goal just 3 minutes into the match. However, the visitors, RTC FC, quickly changed the narrative with two goals by the 25th minute, showcasing their resilience and ability to counterattack effectively. Not to be outdone, TUFC equalized at the 30-minute mark, but the joy was short-lived as RTC snatched the lead again just 3 minutes later, ending the first half with a score of 3-2 in favor of the visitors.
The quality of goals may not have been the highlight, as many came from what could only be described as defensive lapses – misplaced passes, goalkeeper errors, and poor tactical discipline – uncharacteristic at this level of play.
As the second half unfolded, both teams added another goal to their tally, with RTC seemingly in control and poised to take the win. But as the match neared its conclusion, the atmosphere thickened with tension. It was Transport United’s Phurba Tenzin, affectionately known as “Baby,” who emerged as the hero, scoring a critical equalizer in the dying moments of the game, securing a 4-4 draw.
Coach Pema of Transport United expressed mixed feelings about the match. While the dramatic finish was commendable, he noted that the performance overall did not meet expectations. Acknowledging the integration of new players and tactical missteps, he committed to further hardening the team’s playstyle and strategies.
Despite the draw, both teams demonstrated fierce competitiveness and an unyielding spirit. The packed stadium and the roaring fans were a testament to the thrilling football spectacle they witnessed. This match will surely be remembered for its highs and lows, and as always, the support from the fans was nothing short of phenomenal.
