Between these two squads, there are some similarities and a noticeable divergence. Karnataka prefers maintaining the ball and rotating flanks, giving them the advantage in head-to-head matchups (. Meghalaya does the same thing, but prefers to make inroads via the middle in the last third rather than crossing it from the wings. Karnataka’s players all come through the academies of the state’s new modern clubs and are from all across India while Meghalaya is boosted by the pure strength of their domestic talent.

Sheen reduces the deficit for Karnataka. Sheen Sohktung scores with an incredible right-footed curler from the edge of the box into the top right corner. Meghalaya cuts the deficit to one goal.

Meghalaya XI: Rajat Paul Lyngdoh, Banskhemlang Mawlong, Allen Camper Lyngdoh, Donald Diengdoh, Figo Syndau, Nikelson Bina, Fullmoon Mukhim, Wanboklang Lyngkhoi, Dawanchwa Carlos, Brolington Warlarpih (c), Sheen Stevenson

Karnataka XI: Satyajit Bardaloi, M Sunil, Robin Yadav, Nikhil G, Manoj Swamy, F Lalremtluanga, Karthik Govind, Bekey Oram, Abhishek Shankar, Jacob John, Shajan Franklin
