Narjary scored two in quick succession close to the half-time break.

Naganba Waikhom had a good effort early on in the second minute from a free-kick that was approximately 30 yards out. While the Madhya Pradesh defender belted his effort, Arunachal keeper Anant Shah collected it without much fuss.

Their perseverance almost paid off in injury time, when Tobom Langkam's free-kick from a potentially dangerous position was blocked.Also Read| Former Arsenal Player Mesut Ozil Backs Tottenham, Makes Hilarious Promise if Spurs Win Against Manchester City (See Tweet)Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
