Durand Cup: Indian Army staged a stirring comeback to beat Ladakh FC 4–2 in their final Group C match of the 134th Durand Cup in Jamshedpur on Monday, but the victory was not enough to secure a quarterfinal berth.

Despite finishing level on six points with a +2 goal difference, the Army side fell short of claiming one of the two best second-placed spots.

Needing a sizeable win to stay in contention, Army began with intent, using the pace and width of Vignesh Velan and Christopher Kamei to stretch Ladakh’s defence. But it was Ladakh who struck first in the 22nd minute.
