Redeem Tlang has become the first NorthEast United FC player to make 100 appearances for the club. The winger reached the milestone during a Durand Cup match in Guwahati after first playing for the Highlanders in their inaugural 2014 ISL season. He had spells with FC Goa and Odisha FC before returning.
Head coach Juan Pedro Benali felicitated Tlang ahead of the game against Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC. NorthEast United have won their first two group matches, scoring 10 goals. Tlang also scored in the opener. The club is chasing a third successive Durand Cup title. Tlang, a Shillong Lajong product, said squad continuity has helped the strong start, as reported by The Assam Tribune.
A decade of loyalty in the quick-turnover world of Indian Super League deserves notice. Too often, club milestones are framed as personal glory stories. The real test: can Tlang and the settled squad convert this Durand Cup momentum into a third straight title? The answer will show whether continuity or individual records matter more.
