GUWAHATI: NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) will face FC1 in their final Group F fixture of the 135th IndianOil Durand Cup on Tuesday. The match will kick off at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium at 4:00 PM.
The Highlanders currently sit at the top of Group F with six points from two games, following two wins from two, and need just one more point against FC1 to secure qualification for the quarter-finals as group winners.
FC1 are playing in their first-ever Durand Cup and have already shown they are capable of making their presence felt. The Kashmir-based side began their campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC, they then suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bodoland FC, despite going into half-time level.
With the group already firmly in their control, NorthEast United now have one final task: finish the job, finish top, and carry the momentum into the knockout stages.
