Shillong Lajong and Inter Kashi shares the spoil in the I-League encounter 

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaDecember 5, 2024

Shillong Lajong FC and Inter Kashi played out a goalless albeit entertaining draw to bring Round 3 of the ILeague 2024-25 to a close at the SSA Stadium on Thursday.

Inter Kashi’s perfect run of two wins in two came to a halt, but they maintained top spot in the standings with seven points thanks to their superior goal difference over Real Kashmir FC and Dempo SC. Shillong Lajong, meanwhile, are still winless with two draws and a loss gaining 2 points so far. 

Lajong have never been the type of team to take a beating lying down and definitely not at home. Even when facing an onslaught, they carved out chances of their own, and perhaps may even have had the better ones in the match. 

The two sides exchanged half chances over the whole match, the game became more tempestuous, tackles flying in as freely as crosses. Lajong had one final chance in the final minute of the game, when, after a series of headers, the ball fell to Phrangki Buam 10 yards from goal. His shot fell straight at Bhattacharya’s body and bounced away. Kashi breathed a sigh of relief and the game ended as it began, goalless and even. 

Lajong will play their next home match on Sunday, against Rajasthan United FC at 4:30 pm in the SSA Stadium.
