Guwahati, Dec 30 (PTI) Shillong's Lajong
Football Club continued their giantkilling spree as
they shocked I-League champions Churchill
Brothers 1-0 to book their maiden final berth in
the Federation Cup football tournament here
today.
In-form Sheikhohao Tuboi scored the all-
important goal in the 29th minute to give the
Northeastern side their first title round appearance
of any major domestic tournament.
Churchill though squandered a penalty just after
the Lajong goal with their star striker and captain
Odafe Onyeka Okolie missing the target from the
spot in the 35th minute.
Today's win at the packed Nehru Stadium, the
biggest upset of the tournament, proved that
Lajong's earlier win over another top club Dempo
in the group stages was no fluke.
