Shillong, Mar 26: Shillong Lajong FC pulled off a brilliant 2-0 victory over Gokulam Kerala FC in Manjeri, Kerala, today in Round 5 of the Indian Football League 2025-26.
Everbrightson Mylliempdah (36′) and Tremiki Lamurong (65′) scored for the visitors on either side of half time.
Lajong now have 10 points, tied with both Diamond Harbour FC and Sreenidi Deccan. Head-to-head cannot separate them just yet as Lajong have yet to meet Sreenidi. However, SLFC have lost to Diamond Harbour, who in turn lost to Sreenidi.
All three have the same goal difference (+3) but Lajong have scored 8 goals to the 7 of the other two. This should put the Shillong team at the top of the standings, though the All India Football Federation website has them in third place.
Coach Birendra Thapa made just one change to the starting lineup that beat Chanmari FC a few days ago, bringing in Tremiki for Abhay Gurung.
SLFC will next travel to Sreenidi Deccan for their next match on April 1.
