Both tripura

Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground: Tripura were held 2-2 by Arunachal Pradesh, while Madhya Pradesh and Assam played out a goalless draw in opening Group G fixtures of the Swami Vivekananda U-20 Men's National Football Championship at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground here on Saturday.

Arunachal Pradesh came from behind twice to snatch a point from Tripura in an entertaining 2-2 draw in the morning fixture. Both Tripura goals came from John Jamatia, while Toku Panung grabbed the last-minute equaliser for Arunachal Pradesh.

Jamatia scored his first in the 26th minute, latching on to a long ball from the bag before dribbling past two Arunachal shirts and rolling a low shot into the corner.
