Shillong, Apr 18: Shillong Lajong won their first home match of the Junior League Shillong-Guwahati Zone 2-1 over Numaligarh Refinery Limited Football Academy here today.
Lajong’s goals were scored on either side of half time by Benjamin Diengdoh (24′, 51′), which made him the club’s top scorer at present with three goals. NRL then got a goal back in the 56th minute via Rohit Soibam.
