At Kokrajhar, Bodoland FC ended their maiden Durand Cup campaign with a 2-1 win over Odisha FC. Playing their final Group F fixture, the home side rode second-half strikes from Maneshwar Mushahary and Cameroonian Zacharie Mbenda to come from behind and register a famous win.

Pungte Lapung had scored first to give Odisha the lead.

Earlier, Mumbai were on the attack from the outset. Navy FT's resistance was broken in the 34th minute as Mumbai took the lead. Bipin Singh's pass from the left found Diaz who had to just tap it in.

Mumbai doubled their lead in the 62nd minute as Lallinzuala Chhangte’s cross from the right was headed in by Stewart.

Gurkirat then received a through from Stewart and finished past the Navy FT keeper to score his first goal of the tournament.

Rodrigues rounded it off in the sixth minute of injury time. He took advantage of a loose ball from a corner inside the box to score their fourth goal.

Both Bodoland and Odisha end with three points in Group F, while Indian Army are at the top with six points.
