Nongkseh SS&CC trounce Mumbay FC 7-0 in Durand Cup
Two football teams played their last group-stage match in a big football tournament called the Durand Cup, in the city of Shillong.
The home team, Nongkseh SS&CC, was the better team by far.
They scored seven goals, and their opponents, Mumbay FC, could not score even one.
Two Nongkseh players, Hardy Cliff Nongbri and Dawancha Carlos Challam, each scored two goals.
Three other teammates scored one goal each.
The Mumbay goalkeeper conceded an early penalty and got injured during the match, so another goalkeeper had to come on.
Because of the big win, Nongkseh finished second in their group.
However, they did not qualify for the knockout rounds.
Shillong Lajong FC leads the group and still has a match left to play.
Nongkseh SS&CC thrashed Mumbay FC 7-0 in their final Durand Cup Group E fixture at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong.
Hardy Cliff Nongbri (11th, 79th) and Dawancha Carlos Challam (76th, 81st) each scored twice, with Kitboklang Pale (41st), Chesterpoul Lyngdoh (56th) and Sheen Stevenson (89th) also on target.
The win lifted Nongkseh to second in Group E with four points, level with Langsning FC but ahead on goal difference.
Shillong Lajong FC lead the group with six points from two matches and, along with Langsning FC, still have a final group-stage fixture to play.
Mumbay FC goalkeeper Pratik Jadhav conceded an early penalty and was later stretchered off injured, replaced by Jebishan L., as Mumbay exited the tournament without a point.
