Uzbek midfielder Nodir Mavlonov scored in the 14th minute and substitute Niraj Chaudhary netted deep into stoppage time to seal the victory.

The first two matches of the game had finished in draws with Kathmandu Rayzrs and Lalitpur City FC settling in a 2-2 draw while Jhapa FC and Butwal Lumbini FC played a goalless draw on Sunday.

Nodir scored with a powerful low drive exactly from the arch of the area collecting a cut back pass from Victor Mansaray.

Chitwan’s Sishir Lekhi threatened again in the 31st minute forcing goalie Yves Priso to prevent his tight angle finish.

Chitwan made sure that they would walk away with three points after substitute Niraj, an injury time replacement of Sumit Shrestha scored in counter attack collecting a through pass from Victor.
