Both games played in the 2018 2nd Division I-League on Friday ended in draws.
At the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, Mohammedan Sporting Club were held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Langsning FC. Stephanson Pale (30') broke the deadlock for the hosts but former Chennai City FC man Anyichie Echezona Celestine (54') equalised in the second half.
Fikru Teferra was on the attack straightaway but the opposition custodian Surjay Pariyar held onto his shot in the 13th minute. At the other end, Mohammedan's goalkeeper, Subham Roy too stepped up to keep Fullmoon Mukhim at bay.
Local boy Pale propelled the hosts ahead around the half-hour mark. In reply, Fikru was poor in the final third, missing a host of chances. The Ethiopian also was booked, his second in as many games.
It was left for the Nigerian defender Echezona who found space from a goalmouth melee to level matters. With an away point in Meghalaya, the Black Panthers now have 8 points in their kitty.
