The Story in Brief
Bodoland FC recovered from their 6-0 opening defeat to NorthEast United by beating FC1 3-0 in a Group F match in Guwahati on Thursday. Robinson Rendon headed in Halicharan Narzary’s cross in the 57th minute. Rituraj Mohan and Aron Thapa then scored in the 78th and 82nd minutes. Both sides have three points from two matches, with FC1 ahead on goal difference. NorthEast United lead the group unbeaten, while Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC are still without a point.
In Shillong, Langsning FC came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Nongkseh SS&CC in Group E. Shano Tariang and Hardy Nongbri put Nongkseh ahead before half-time. Mebanshngain Kurkalang and Syed Ahmed scored headers within five minutes of the restart to secure a point for Langsning.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy reading would be to treat Bodoland’s 6-0 loss as proof they do not belong in the competition, or this win as a complete turnaround. Neither fits the table. They have three points and a negative goal difference, while FC1 remain above them on the same points. Langsning’s comeback also shows why early leads offer little comfort in this tournament. Bodoland’s next result, and the final goal difference, will test whether Thursday was recovery or a one-off.
