Indian Super Cup 2018 : FC Pune City vs Shillong Lajong, 5 Talking Points

#1 Shillong rise from the dead and snatch victory in dying minutes

Shillong snatched it in the end moments

Leading 2-0, Pune looked on course for a routine victory. But before they knew it, they found themselves level on scores after two well-taken goals from Shillong. The North-Eastern outfit rose from the dead and mounted a splendid comeback against a quality opponent.

The comeback was complete in the 92nd minute. Lajong were awarded a penalty after Vishal Kaith cynically brought down Koffi inside the box. Up stepped 19-year-old captain, Samuel Lalmuanpuia.

The diminutive leader kept his calm and slotted his powerful shot past Kaith, earning his side a crucial victory much against what everyone expected. Pune only had themselves to blame for missing the chance to put the game to bed, having missed three glorious opportunities to take an unassailable lead.
