Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC: Indian Army Football Team produced a spirited second-half comeback to defeat Mohammedan Sporting Club 2-1 in the final Group B fixture of the 135th Durand Cup at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Wednesday.
A dramatic stoppage-time winner from Shafeel P.P. completed the turnaround after P. Christopher Kamei had cancelled out Lalthankima's stunning first-half strike, ensuring the Services side finished atop Group B with a perfect nine points from three matches to secure a place in the quarterfinals.
Heading into the decisive encounter, Indian Army required only a point to confirm top spot, while Mohammedan SC needed victory to keep their knockout hopes alive. The Black and White Brigade started brightly and looked the more adventurous side in the opening exchanges.
