I-League 2017/18, Match 60: Shillong Lajong vs Mohun Bagan, 5 Talking Points

#4 Lajong miss some gilt-edged chances

Lajong failed to find the back of the net

The second half, like the first, saw the home team dominate possession and try to create scoring opportunities.

However, they failed to put away some very good ones that came their way. Samuel Lamuanpuia's deliveries weren't up to his usual standards today, but he did draw a good save from Shilton Paul from a very good free-kick at the end of the first half.

In the 42nd minute, Novin Gurung had a very good chance to level the score. Paul had come out of his area leaving the goal unguarded and Gurung had gotten on the end of a very good cross from Kenstar Kharshong. However, he failed to keep his effort down.

Abdoulaye Koffi had probably the two best chances outside of Samuel's free-kick. Just a minute into the second half, he had a wide open header which he failed to keep down. And, in the 84th, a golden chance presented itself, but Koffi, once again in plenty of space, could only direct his header wide of the goal.

A few minutes later, Bagan went up the other end and scored the decisive second.
