David Ngaihte floated in a cross from the right and the ball just held up for Uche, who jumped to produce a header, which did not give the NorthEast United goalkeeper any chance.

Incidentally, the goal was the only shot on target by the Dynamos in the 90 plus four minutes of added time.

The Dynamos didn’t start the second half too well, with NorthEast United FC looking like the better team, much like in the first 45 minutes.

However, some clever changes from the visitors saw them gain momentum and put pressure on the hosts.

Eventually, the winner came and Dynamos bagged three points.

Seventh-placed NorthEast United will be disappointed with themselves as they were the better team for most part of the game, creating plenty of chances that went begging.

Earlier, chances were far and few in the first half.
