SHILLONG: Pohkseh staged a comeback to win 2-1 against a spirited Mawlai side in a league match of the U-19 Shillong Premiere League here on Friday.

Mawlai’s Pyntngen Rymbai hit a clean aerial ball to striker Badenkupar Marbaniang who sailed the ball into the nets. But a determined Pohkseh equalised with a Dannysius Pyngrope goal in the 74th minute.
Pyngrope drove home the equalizer following a free kick.
Just when the match looked heading for a draw, Rishan Kharkongor’s 90th minute freekick goal saw Pohkseh clinch a memorable win.
