Marcos Rudwere Genar Silva: Marcos Rudwere Genar Silva scored the winning goal as Shillong Lajong rallied to defeat TRAU FC 2-1 in the I-League at the Kalyani Stadium here on Friday, moving up to fifth place in the standings. TRAU took the lead through Issahak Nuhu Seidu before Lajong found the equaliser due to an own goal. Rudwere Genar Silva sealed the issue for Shillong Lajong in the 72nd minute.

The win helped Lajong move to the fifth spot in the I-League table with 25 points from 15 matches. TRAU, on the other hand, are still fighting to beat the drop. They are at the bottom of the 13-team league table with seven points from 15 matches.

Shillong Lajong demonstrated a dominant possession game during the first half, controlling the midfield and crafting attacks with relative ease. Despite this dominance and the creation of several promising opportunities, their forwards struggled to find the back of the net, with a noticeable lack of finishing precision preventing them from capitalising on their chances.
