I-League 2017-18: Shillong Lajong vs East Bengal, 5 Talking Points

Title race back in Minerva Punjab’s hands

The title is now back in Minerva's hand.

East Bengal had the golden opportunity to win the I-League for the first time in the history of the club. All they had to do was win their remaining two games, against Lajong and Neroca, and the trophy would be theirs (by virtue of goal difference)

However, Jamil’s men blew it in the end, as Mehtab Singh put in a horrendous challenge on Samuel to hand Lajong a penalty.

Now, the Red and Golds have to win their last match of the season against Neroca, and hope that Minerva drop points against Churchill Brothers.
