The Story in Brief
Bodoland FC recovered from a 6-0 opening defeat to NorthEast United FC 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. Substitutes Rituraj Mohan and Aron Thapa added goals in the 78th and 82nd minutes. The win gave Bodoland three points, leaving them level with FC1 and NorthEast United. The New Indian Express reports that FC1 remain above Bodoland on goal difference, while NorthEast United lead the group and Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC have no points.
Nongkseh SS&CC and Langsning FC drew 2-2 in Group E in Shillong. Nongkseh led through Shano Tariang and Hardycliff Nongbri, but Langsning equalised through Mebanshngain Kurkalang and Syed Ahmed within two minutes after half-time.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy reading is that Bodoland’s first defeat showed their true level, while one 3-0 win proves they are contenders. Neither claim fits two matches. Their goal difference still carries the damage of the 6-0 loss, and FC1 remain level on points. The sharper test is whether Bodoland can avoid another heavy defeat and take points from their remaining group fixtures. Their final goal difference may decide the table.ة
