135th Durand Cup: Langsning FC Fight Back To Hold Nongkseh SS&CC In An Exciting Shillong Derby
Birsa Munda Football Stadium: Langsning FC staged a remarkable second-half comeback to overturn a two-goal deficit and earn a thrilling 2-2 draw against Nongkseh SS&CC in a fiercely contested Group E fixture of the 135th Durand Cup at a packed Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong on Thursday.
Nongkseh looked firmly in control after capitalising on defensive lapses from the hosts to establish a two-goal cushion before the interval through strikes from Shano Tariang and Hardy Nongbri.
However, Langsning responded after the restart, producing a devastating five-minute spell to restore parity. Mebanshngain Kurkalang and Syed Ahmed both found the net with well-taken headers as the hosts fought back to claim a deserved share of the points in an entertaining end-to-end encounter.
