SHILLONG: Since the afternoon, all roads in Meghalaya were virtually leading to the Nehru Stadium in the capital, buzzing with anticipation of another giant-killing act. Once again, Lajong FC had all the noise and a 16000-odd crowd inside the stadium made it quite intimidating for the visitors to breathe. Once again, the stage was set for the home team to go for another kill, after stunning East Bengal FC four days ago.
But Lajong's youthful exuberance and promise could take them only thus far as NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) came and brought them crashing down to earth with a 3-0 win on Monday.
