Durand Cup 2025: Rangdajied Hold NEUFC; Indian Army Bow Out Despite Comeback Win (Ld)
Indian Army Football Team: Shillong and Jamshedpur witnessed contrasting emotions on Monday as Rangdajied United FC held defending champion NorthEast United FC to a 2–2 draw in the Durand Cup, while Indian Army Football Team exited the tournament despite a dramatic comeback victory.
At the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, Bekey Oram gave NEUFC an early lead from the penalty spot, but Rangdajied United refused to be overawed. Manbhakupar Iawphniaw levelled the scores midway through the first half, capitalising on a defensive lapse, before Danzel Umdor fired the hosts ahead just before the break.
The Highlanders, however, responded with composure in the second half. A flowing move was finished clinically by Jairo, whose strike ensured the defending champions preserved their unbeaten record going into the quarterfinals. Rangdajied, despite the spirited display and their first point of the tournament, bowed out.
