Meghalaya State League: Mawtari Myrdon ousts 7 Wasa United from quarterfinal race

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaOctober 31, 2024

7 Wasa United’s hopes were dashed with a 2-0 defeat to Mawtari Myrdon in Group E of the Meghalaya State League 2024 at Wahiajer today.

This was the only fixture scheduled for today, and Silbestar Kharbani (54’, 70’) struck twice in the second half to secure victory for Mawtari Myrdon.

Mawtari Myrdon won their opening match against Seinbhalang Shkentalang 3-1 three days ago, while 7 Wasa had previously lost 9-0 to Shillong Lajong in the curtain-raiser on Saturday.

This defeat means that 7 Wasa, champions of the inaugural MSL, will not be able to progress to the quarterfinals regardless of the outcome of their final group fixture.

Each of the six group winners, along with the two best second-placed teams overall, will qualify for the knockout round of the tournament.

With 6 points each, Lajong and Mawtari Myrdon are now the only contenders for the top two spots in Group E.
