Shillong, Apr 26: Shillong Lajong FC and Dempo SC played out a 0-0 draw in their Championship Round match in the Indian Football League 2025-26 at the SSA Stadium here this evening.
Dempo had defeated Lajong in Stage 1 and SLFC had been hoping to get some revenge.
The draw means Lajong stay in second place but their title hopes have shrunk. Leaders Diamond Harbour, who won 2-0 against Chanmari FC yesterday, now have a 7-point lead with just four games to go.
Lajong coach Birendra Thapa made no change to the starting lineup from the win against Aizawl FC at the end of Stage 1.
Lajong will next face Chanmari FC in a North East derby on May 2 at 6:30pm here.
