Hosts Kerala will have to wait to book a place in the semifinals of the 75th Santosh Trophy national football championship after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Meghalaya in their Group A encounter at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri on Wednesday.
Kerala could have advanced to the last four with a third win on the trot, but goals from Mohammed Safnad (17) and Mohammed Saheef (58) were cancelled out by strikes from Meghalaya's Kynsaibor Lhuid (40) and Figo Syndai (55).
