Luis Rodríguez Secures Aizawl FC Draw Against Churchill Brothers

During the I-League match between Aizawl FC and Churchill Brothers on February 17, 2025, Luis Rodríguez’s injury-time strike helped Aizawl salvage a dramatic 1-1 draw. This was Rodríguez’s debut in the league, and his goal came in the 90+6 minute after Churchill had taken the lead through Wayde Lekay’s 60th-minute penalty. Lekay’s goal was his 10th of the season, putting Churchill ahead. However, the match was marred by missed opportunities from the leaders and a red card for Churchill’s José Luis Moreno, who was sent off in the 74th minute.

Despite Churchill’s dominance and several close calls, including a powerful shot hitting the woodwork and a crucial save by Aizawl’s goalkeeper Rafique Ali Sardar, they couldn’t extend their lead. Aizawl, who had only one shot on target throughout the match, took advantage of the numerical superiority in stoppage time, with Rodríguez netting the equalizer.
