Shawn Appolinario with 4 goals?! That's insane talent right there. RFYC's youth development program is clearly producing some special players.

While the results are exciting, I wish the article provided more tactical analysis. These scorelines suggest some teams might be struggling defensively - would love to hear why.

MBSG looking strong again! 3-0 against Chennaiyin is no joke. Haokip scoring in stoppage time shows their hunger to keep pushing until the final whistle 👏
