Grazie ad un gol di Kim Song-Yong al 59′ il Royal Wahingdoh FC centra la terza vittoria consecutiva nella I-League, superando il Bharat FC. L’attaccante coreano era entranto in campo al 46′ e ha messo a segno il gol del definitivo 2-1.
Il Royal Wahingdoh è l’unica squadra a punteggio pieno dopo tre gare di I-League.

Il Zainichi Kim Seng Yong firma per una neopromossa della I-League: il Royal Wahingdoh.
Il club di Shillong dopo aver vinto la I-League 2 si appresta a partecipare alla prima stagione nella prima divisione indiana.
Per Kim è la terza esperienza fuori dal Giapone dopo l’esperienza in Thailandia (Nakhon Ratchasima F.C., 27 pres 11 gol) e sempre in India (Rangdajied United, 13 pres 4 gol).
Ancora non è chiara la situazione di Son Min-Chol, la scorsa stagione capitano dell’altra squadra di Shillong, il Lajong.

After registering their first ever I-League win at home, there was cause for another big celebration on Friday as Rangdajied United were crowned the new champs of the Imperial Blue Shillong Premier League with a narrow, yet somewhat calm 1-0 win over their rivals Malki in the floodlit JN Sports Complex.

A goal by the resilient David Ngaihte and a stellar performance by man of the match Dapbor Bareh allowed the blues to walk home with a memorable victory after losing out on a close-fought final encounter last year against Royal Wahingdoh.

David Ngaihte’s 60th minute goal following a mix-up inside the penalty box ensured the I-League promoted side a deserving win as they ended their SPL campaign unbeaten with 14 wins and a draw.

After a Rangdajied corner, there was a scramble in the penalty box, creating an advantage for David who fired in a shot past goalkeeper Larry. Malki looked jaded in the second half after displaying some attacking football in the early stages of the game.

Malki’s counter-attacks were unsuccessful and their striker Samson Nongrum, who was having a good run in the league, looked depleted in the latter half therefore weakening the attack to an extent.

The local side nearly found an equaliser in the dying minutes through a header, but the ball just barely missed the target. Rangdajied, fielding some of their star players, eventually held on tight for the last few minutes to break a three-year Shillong Premier League title run by Royal Wahingdoh.

Libero Sports completes the transfer of its client and North Korean National Team striker Kim Song-Yong from Nakhon Ratchasima FC (Thailand) to Rangdajied United FC (India).

Song-Yong said,“I am very happy and excited to finally have arrived in India. I look forward to repaying the faith showed in me by the Rangdajied United FC management. So my main focus will be to play well for the team, and have a successful season with Rangdajied United Football Club.”

Coach Santosh Kashyap said, “He is born in Japan and is very talented. He trialled with us for three-to-four days and I was impressed.”

FIFA Licensed Agent and Libero Sports Partner Arvind Narayan, who represented Kim Song-Yong in the transfer, said: “Kim is a young and powerful striker with a sharp nose for goal. He’s a quality addition to the Rangdajied United FC team, who will best utilize his strength and directness with their style of play for him to beat defenses and score goals.”

E’ il secondo Zainichi a giocare in India, dopo Minchol Son, capitano del Shillong Laiong.

What could be the most surprising transfer during the mid-season transfer window: Korat’s bit-part North Korean striker Kim Seong Yong is set for a move to TPL giants Bangkok Glass. The Pathum Thani-based club has obviously noticed something that everyone at Korat has missed.
