Mawlai SC by the Numbers: The Statistical Blueprint Behind an Unbeaten SPL Campaign

Seven clean sheets. Two goals conceded. Eleven goalscorers? No — eleven different players found the net, while six of Mawlai’s 17 goals arrived after the 75th minute. Highland Football breaks down the numbers behind Mawlai SC’s recorded nine-match unbeaten run in the Shillong Premier League 2026–27. Mawlai SC’s championship campaign can be examined through three defining indicators: defensive efficiency, attacking distribution and performance in decisive moments. Across nine recorded matches, Mawlai accumulated 21 points from six wins and three draws. They scored 17 goals, conceded two and finished with a +15 goal difference. 1. The season at a glance Performance indicator| Record Matches analysed| 9 Wins| 6 Draws| 3 Losses| 0 Points| 21 Win rate| 66.7% Unbeaten rate| 100% Goals scored| 17 Goals conceded| 2 Goal difference| +15 Average goals scored| 1.89 per match Average goals conceded| 0.22 per match Clean sheets| 7 Clean-sheet rate| 77.8% Different goalscorers| 11 The numbers reveal a side that combined regular scoring with exceptional defensive returns. Mawlai averaged almost two goals per match while conceding just once every 4.5 matches on average. Their seven clean sheets also mean opponents failed to score in more than three-quarters of the matches analysed. 2. Clean-sheet analysis: Seven opponents kept scoreless Mawlai’s defensive record becomes clearer when each clean sheet is examined individually. Opponent| Result| Goals conceded Laitkor FC| 5–0| 0 Shillong Lajong FC| 0–0| 0 Nongkseh SS CC| 1–0| 0 Langsning FC| 0–0| 0 Nangkiew Irat SC| 0–0| 0 Meghalaya Police| 2–0| 0 Rangdajied United FC| 5–0| 0 Total| 7 clean sheets| 0 Mawlai’s remaining two fixtures produced identical defensive outcomes: one goal conceded in each. Opponent| Result| Goals conceded Mylliem SC| 2–1| 1 Sawmer SCC| 2–1| 1 Total| Two matches| 2 Key finding: Every opponent Mawlai faced scored either zero or one goal. No team scored twice against them in the nine-match dataset. The clean sheets also came in different match situations. Mawlai shut out opponents in two high-scoring 5–0 wins, secured a narrow 1–0 victory over Nongkseh and recorded three goalless draws against Lajong, Langsning and Nangkiew Irat. That range of results makes the defensive record more significant than the clean-sheet count alone. 3. Where did Mawlai’s 17 goals come from? Mawlai’s goals were distributed across 11 players. Their scoring chart shows both a leading pair and a substantial supporting cast. Rank| Goalscorer| Goals| Share of team goals 1| Damanbhalang Chyne| 4| 23.5% 2| Basuklang Bina| 3| 17.6% 3| Fairming Suting| 2| 11.8% 4=| Arkibor Makhroh| 1| 5.9% 4=| Arkini Laloo| 1| 5.9% 4=| Bajiedlang Rangslang| 1| 5.9% 4=| Jestibor Mawlong| 1| 5.9% 4=| Lovingstar Suting| 1| 5.9% 4=| Ricky Chyne| 1| 5.9% 4=| Samlang Rympei| 1| 5.9% 4=| Wadshwa Latoo| 1| 5.9% | Total| 17| 100% What the scoring distribution tells us - Damanbhalang Chyne: Four goals, making him Mawlai’s leading scorer and responsible for 23.5% of the team’s recorded goals. - Basuklang Bina: Three goals, contributing 17.6%. - Fairming Suting: Two goals, contributing 11.8%. - The remaining eight one-goal scorers: Together accounted for eight goals, or 47.1% of the total. Damanbhalang and Basuklang combined for seven goals — 41.2% of Mawlai’s total. The other ten goals came from nine different players. This distribution suggests Mawlai did not depend entirely on their top scorer. Almost half their goals came from players who scored once, highlighting the importance of contributions beyond the leading names. 4. When did Mawlai score? A breakdown by match minute The timing of Mawlai’s goals adds another dimension to their attacking record. Time period| Goals| Share 1–15 minutes| 2| 11.8% 16–30 minutes| 2| 11.8% 31–45 minutes, including recorded 45+| 2| 11.8% 46–60 minutes| 4| 23.5% 61–75 minutes| 1| 5.9% 76th minute onwards| 6| 35.3% Total| 17| 100% The largest individual scoring period was the final 15 minutes and stoppage time, with six goals. That is more than one-third of Mawlai’s entire tally. Four goals came between the 46th and 60th minutes, making the opening quarter-hour after half-time another productive period. By comparison, only one goal was recorded between the 61st and 75th minutes. Mawlai’s scoring distribution was therefore not uniform: it featured a strong spell immediately after half-time and a particularly productive closing phase. Six goals after the 75th minute The late goals came in several different contexts: - 76' — Jestibor Mawlong: scored the winner against Sawmer after the opponents had equalised. - 83' — Damanbhalang Chyne: extended Mawlai’s lead against Rangdajied. - 87' — Bajiedlang Rangslang: completed the scoring in the 5–0 win over Laitkor. - 90' — Ricky Chyne: added the fifth against Rangdajied. - 90+3' — Lovingstar Suting: completed Mawlai’s comeback against Mylliem. - 90+5' — Damanbhalang Chyne: scored the only goal against Nongkseh. These six goals did not all have the same significance. Some extended already comfortable leads; others changed the result or secured the points. That distinction is important when assessing Mawlai’s late-game performance. 5. Comebacks and late winners: Separating the evidence Three fixtures stand out for late decisive goals, but only one qualifies as a comeback from behind in the recorded scoring sequence. Match| Scoring sequence| Statistical classification Mylliem SC 1–2 Mawlai| Mylliem 33'; Basuklang 41'; Lovingstar 90+3'| Comeback win Nongkseh 0–1 Mawlai| Damanbhalang 90+5'| Late winning goal Mawlai 2–1 Sawmer| Damanbhalang 45+'; Sawmer 62'; Jestibor 76'| Winner after equaliser Mylliem: The clearest comeback Mawlai fell behind in the 33rd minute against Mylliem. Basuklang Bina equalised eight minutes later, before Lovingstar Suting scored in the 90+3rd minute. The match produced a direct turnaround from a losing position to a winning result. Nongkseh: Maximum points from a goalless match Against Nongkseh, Damanbhalang Chyne’s 90+5th-minute goal decided a match in which Mawlai had kept a clean sheet. It was not a comeback, but it converted a potential draw into a win. Sawmer: A decisive response After Mawlai took the lead, Sawmer equalised in the 62nd minute. Jestibor Mawlong’s 76th-minute goal restored Mawlai’s advantage and secured the victory. Combined finding: These three matches produced nine points for Mawlai. The decisive goals came in stoppage time against Mylliem and Nongkseh and in the 76th minute against Sawmer. 6. Two 5–0 wins: One at the beginning, one at the end Mawlai’s recorded campaign opened with a 5–0 victory over Laitkor on 15 August and concluded with another 5–0 win against Rangdajied on 6 October. The two matches produced ten of Mawlai’s 17 goals — 58.8% of their total — while accounting for two of their seven clean sheets. The opening win featured five different goalscorers: Samlang Rympei, Fairming Suting, Wadshwa Latoo, Basuklang Bina and Bajiedlang Rangslang. Against Rangdajied, Basuklang scored in the 13th minute, Arkini Laloo in the 16th and Fairming Suting in the 22nd. Damanbhalang Chyne added a goal in the 83rd minute, followed by Ricky Chyne in the 90th. The contrast is notable. Mawlai’s first 5–0 victory featured five different scorers, while the second combined three early goals with two late additions. 7. What defined Mawlai’s campaign? Three indicators stand out from the database: Defensive efficiency: Seven clean sheets and just two goals conceded across nine matches. Their clean-sheet rate was 77.8%. Scoring depth: Eleven players scored at least once. The leading two scorers supplied 41.2% of the goals, leaving 58.8% to other contributors. Late-game impact: Six goals came from the 76th minute onwards. Three fixtures — against Mylliem, Nongkseh and Sawmer — featured particularly decisive late strikes. These indicators describe a side that combined a strong defensive floor with multiple attacking contributors. The data supports that conclusion without needing to assume why the team performed that way. The final statistical picture Mawlai’s nine recorded matches produced 21 points, 17 goals scored, two conceded and a +15 goal difference. They won two-thirds of their matches, avoided defeat throughout the dataset and kept seven opponents scoreless. Their top scorer, Damanbhalang Chyne, contributed four goals, but the team’s 11-goalscorer spread demonstrates that production was not confined to one player. Meanwhile, the six late goals — including a stoppage-time comeback winner and a stoppage-time winner in a separate match — underline how important the closing stages were to several results. Highland Football verdict: Mawlai’s numbers point to a championship defined by defensive consistency, collective scoring and decisive moments. The most striking statistic may not be the 17 goals they scored, but the two they conceded — a defensive record that gave their attacking players room to turn close matches into victories.
