SHILLONG: Kitbor Kharkongor’s heroics ensured a 2-1 finish for Malki in their Imperial Blue Shillong Premiere League match against Royal Wahingdoh at JN Stadium here on Tuesday.
Kitbor struck his first in the 46th minute and added one more to the tally in the 61st minute to take a seemingly unassailable lead but an own goal by Malki’s Da-u-Ni Passah in the 77th minute threatened to bring the Royals back into the match.
