Speculation arose that Meghalaya’s Chief Minister, hailing from Kongkal Mahari, might feature on Kongkal FC’s roster. Unfortunately, due to his busy schedule, he was unable to join the team, but he sent his best wishes to both squads.
The match commenced with Simsang launching aggressive attacks, aiming to take an early lead. Before the first half concluded, Simsang managed to find the net twice, leaving Kongkal trailing.
However, the second half witnessed a spirited comeback by the Kongkal team, scoring two goals to level the playing field. But a determined Simsang were able to find the back of the net one more time. Their solid defence also proved effective and they were able to hold Kongkal to 2 goals, securing their victory with a final scoreline of 3-2.
Adding to the excitement, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma’s mother, Soradini K Sangma, graced the stands, offering support to the Kongkal FC.
