Bodoland outshine Morning Star
There was no dearth of support from the stands as home side Bodoland FC curved out a 2-1 victory over Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC — another club from the Assam hinterland — in their Durand Cup clash at SAI Stadium in Kokrajhar on Thursday. Having failed to make it out of the group stage in their debut season last year, Bodoland began their campaign at the 134th edition of the tournament with a win and three points that took them to the second spot on the Group D table, with the same points and goal difference but one goal behind leaders ITBP FT in goals scored. It was a scrappy start to the fixture between the two Assamese outfits. But the team from Karbi Anglong in Assam's Diphu brought the packed house at the venue to a standstill when it drew the first blood in the 25th minute. Joseph latched on to a defensive error from the hosts to slot the ball home and announce the arrival of another club from the northeast on the Indian scene. However, Bodoland struck back in the 37th minute when Gwgwmsar Gayary had a superb shot from inside the box that found the right of the net and bring the match on level terms. With the match locked at 1-1 at the end of the first half, both sides looked eager to press forward after the change of ends but it was Bodoland — the Kokrajhar outfit — who were able to capitalise on the chance created at both ends. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

Robinson strikes winner as Bodoland FC edge Karbi Anglong
Local side Bodoland FC (BDFC) registered their first win of the 134th IndianOil Durand Cup with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over debutants Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC (KAMSFC) in a tightly contested Group D clash, here at the SAI Stadium. Karbi Anglong struck first through Nigerian forward Joseph Mayowa Olaleye, but Bodoland responded swiftly with an equaliser from Gwgwmsar Gayary in the 37th minute. Colombian striker Robinson calmly slotted home at the hour mark to secure all three points for the local side. BDFC head coach Vikash Panthi fielded a strong 4-2-3-1 lineup led by Colombian striker Robinson Blandon Rendon, while KAMSFC's head coach C A Laldinsang Pudaite made four changes from their last game with Nigerian forward Joseph Mayowa Olaleye spearheading the attack. The early exchanges were cagey, with BDFC having the first clear chance when Robinson found himself one-on-one with Karbi Anglong keeper Wellyster Mendes, only for the play to be flagged offside. Pedro Astray's free-kick in the 11th minute for BDFC also struck the wall, as both sides struggled to create meaningful openings. Momentum shifted in the 22nd minute when Karbi Anglong launched a swift counter. Nigerian forward Olaleye was brought down just outside the box, earning a free kick. Joseph Bempah's effort was well-saved by BDFC keeper Birkhang Diamary. But the pressure told three minutes later when Wellyster's long ball from the Karbi Anglong half caught the BDFC defence off guard. Olaleye latched onto it, beat the last defender, and drilled a powerful low strike into the near post to put KAMSFC ahead in the 25th minute. Bodoland FC found the equaliser in the 37th minute through winger Gwgwmsar Gayary. A long diagonal ball from midfield found Gayary on the left, who headed into the danger area. A failed clearance by KAMSFC captain Harbamon Timung gave Gayary a second chance, and he made no mistake in firing it past Wellyster Mendes to make it 1-1.
