Haryana Swami Vivekananda U20 Men: Nagaland made the quarterfinals of the Swami Vivekananda U20 Men's National Football Championship from Group H after a 2-2 draw against Haryana at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground here on Wednesday.

In the other match of Group H, Bengal defeated Madhya Pradesh 3-0, but still finished third in the group with four points. While Haryana stood second with five points, Nagaland collected seven to top the table. They will cross swords with Group G winners Sports Authority of India (SAI) in the quarter-final on Friday (April 25, 2025).

Knowing well that only a win could take them to the last eight, Haryana looked a determined lot from the beginning but went into arrears in the 14th minute when Nagaland’s K. Arap Konyak quickly ran past his marker to beat an advancing goalkeeper.
