Highlanders Sign Off ISL Campaign With Comfortable 2-0 Triumph

NorthEast United FC signed off their Indian Super League campaign with a 2-0 win over Mohammedan Sporting Club on Tuesday, securing a morale-boosting finish to the season.

The Highlanders climbed one position to ninth place in the league table after collecting 16 points from their campaign. Mohammedan SC, whose relegation had already been confirmed earlier in the season, finished at the bottom of the standings with just three points and no victories throughout the tournament.

NorthEast United opened the scoring through Jairo Samperio, who capitalised on the team’s attacking momentum to put his side ahead. Dinesh Singh Soraisham later added the second goal to seal the victory and ensure a comfortable finish for the visitors.

Mohammedan SC had created the first significant opportunity of the match in the 13th minute. Thokchom Adison Singh made an impressive run down the right wing before cutting into the penalty area and attempting a low shot at the near post. However, the effort deflected off a defender and was comfortably collected by NorthEast goalkeeper Dipesh Chauhan.

Despite moments of attacking intent, Mohammedan SC struggled to convert their chances throughout the game, continuing a difficult season that ultimately resulted in relegation.

NorthEast United, meanwhile, displayed better organisation and finishing quality, allowing them to control key moments of the match and close the season with a valuable win.

The result offers some encouragement for the Highlanders ahead of next season, while Mohammedan SC will now look to regroup after a disappointing campaign in which they failed to secure a single victory.
