National Football Championship: Defending champions Karnataka came from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Mizoram in Group B of the 77th National Football Championship for Santosh Trophy final round at the Golden Jubilee Stadium on Saturday.

Mizoram were seemingly running away with the three points after goals from MS Dawngliana and MC Malsawmzuala had put them in a commanding position. But Karnataka showed the champion spirit to score twice in quick succession in the second half through Prabin Tigga and Vishal R to rescue a point.

This was Karnataka's second consecutive draw after a 1-1 result against Delhi on Thursday.
