Shillong Lajong FC secured a 2-0 victory over Laitkor in the Shillong Premier League 2025 at SSA Stadium, Polo, today, moving up to second place with 7 points.
Deibormame Tongper (27’) headed in from a free-kick in his first match of the season, while Emanbha Marbaniang (74’) doubled the lead after a defensive lapse. Laitkor, who started strong with early chances for Freelyson Tariang, were reduced to 10 men when Richarles Rani was shown a straight red card in the 66th minute.
Although goalkeeper Deranius Wahlang saved a penalty to momentarily lift Laitkor fans, the joy was short-lived as Lajong sealed the win soon after.
Lajong now trail leaders Nangkiew Irat (9 pts), while Laitkor sit sixth on 3 points. Tomorrow, Mylliem will face Malki in the final Round 3 clash.
