Khalid Jamil, Aizawl FC head coach: When I took charge of this club, never thought we would come this far. A 2-0 win would have been ideal but this victory tastes great because the players worked very hard while enjoying every moment of the game. Good to head the points table, but next match with Lajong (April 30) (is) most crucial (if we are) to become champions.
Sanjoy Sen, Mohun Bagan head coach: Hats off to Aizawl FC for a good win, but we were denied a 4th minute penalty when Jeje was brought down in the penalty (box). We dominated most part of the game, but one can lose despite the boys playing well. And Aizawl has a very sporting crowd; good advertisement for Indian football.
