Paonam Govin Singh then doubled the advantage with a clinical finish in the 80th minute, before Md Arbash put the result beyond doubt by adding a third in the first minute of stoppage time, capping off a dominant display.

With the result, Classic FA strengthened their hold on second place in the Northeast Group with 16 points from eight matches, four adrift of leaders Northeast United FC (20 points from eight games) .

Aizawl FC sit third with 12 points from nine fixtures, while Jamshedpur FC remain fourth (10 points).

Rounding out the table are Mizoram Youth Football Foundation (7 points from nine matches) and Shillong Lajong FC, who prop up the group with six points from eight outings.
