The Story in Brief
Shillong Lajong FC thrashed Mumbay FC 5-0 in a Group E Durand Cup match at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong on Saturday. Everbrightson Sana scored twice, while Abhay Gurung, Tremiki Lamurong and Figo Syndai added one each. Lajong went top of the group with six points from two matches.
In Guwahati, North East United FC beat Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC 4-1 in a Group F match. Alaaeddine Ajaraie scored a brace, with Macarton Nickson and Ethyan Gonzalez also finding the net. Junior Onguene scored for Morning Star. North East United top Group F with six points.
The Indian Opinion
The headlines focus on the scoreline, but the real story is Lajong's relentless pressing that forced two stoppage-time goals in the first half. That pattern, sustained pressure breaking a defence just before the break, is what made this win decisive, not just the final margin. The question now is whether they can replicate this intensity against stronger group opponents, not just overwhelmed sides like Mumbay FC.
