I-League Division 2: Final Round spots are up for grabs

The preliminary Group Stage of the I-League Division 2 ends in a couple of days. Then we will know who all have qualified for the final round and join Mumbai's ONGC though some teams like United Sikkim FC and Mohammedan Sporting Club are already through.

In Group A in Silchar United Sikkim FC are already through with one match to play, but they face Aizawl FC in the final game of the group which will decide who will join them in the final round. Currently Ar-Hima FC are in second spot with 11 points, while Aizawl FC are in third just a point behind. But the team from Mizoram would need a win against USFC to leapfrog the Shillong side and progress.

In Group B in Cuttack it is a three-way race for the two spots. Currently Royal Wahingdoh SC and Sesa Football Academy are top of the league with 14 points, while Kalighat Milan Sangha are close behind on 13 points. Only if Royal Wahingdoh SC or Sesa Football Academy drop points then Kalighat MS have a chance to move into the final round.

In Group C at the Ambedkar Stadium in Delhi tomorrow it a real final when Langsning FC from Shillong take on Goan side Vasco SC. Both teams are on 13 points with four wins, a draw and a loss. Only one of the sides will join Mohammedan Sporting Club from the group in the final round. The Goans have a superior goal difference and would go through on that in chance of a draw, otherwise the winner moves on.
