Alan Thapa (21′) put the visitors into the lead but Lajong seized the advantage by the halftime whistle through Gladdy Kharbuli (38′) and Everbrightson Mylliempdah (45′). Gerard Artigas (59′) then drew Rajasthan level but Phrangki Buam converted a 71st minute penalty to restore the hosts’ lead and Rudra Ved (79′) got in on the action as well.
Lajong coach Birendra Thapa announced an unchanged starting line-up from the game against Sreenidi Deccan FC.
