A goal by striker Ricky Kharkongor (4\u2019) in the fourth minute of the match clinched the issue in favour of Meghalaya. The Karnataka tried hard to make a comeback and created a few chances, especially in the second half. But the Meghalaya defence stood firm, denying their rivals any room.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meghalaya, who made the quarter-finals on an impressive note, winning all three matches in Group A, found the going tough against Karnataka after an early strike. A cross from the left that landed in the Karnataka box was deftly pushed in from close by Kharkongor despite the presence of a couple of markers around him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Thereafter, Karnataka made several moves throughout the encounter and came near scoring on a few occasions. But somehow, the equaliser remained elusive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
