The ISL made its way to India's northeast region, Shillong, for the very first time, but the outing was not eventful for the hosts as the Islanders secured a 2-0 victory, beating the Highlanders after a winless streak of eight games. Bipin Singh and Lallianzuala Chhangte's goals in each half inspired Kratky's men to secure three significant points as they moved up to the fourth spot with 31 points from 19 games, as per a press release from ISL.
