Shillong Lajong defeats EB by a margin of 3-1 and are through to the semis . SL's 22 year old Goalkeeper Manas was their best player . Another prospect for the NT. Poor performance from EB with such a star squad.
Fully agree with you about EB's performance...absolutely shoddy defence. The defenders seemed to be all over the place, zero co-ordination among them. The SLFC players were more hungry, played with more intent and were deserving winners. Apart from Nandha and Talal, none of the EB players stood out. Diamantakos, David and later Cleiton all failed to impress...so did Jeakson and Saul. Fitness seemed to be a major concern. In fact, if not for lack of finishing and the alertness of Gill, the scoreline would have been more embarrassing for East Bengal
