Goa, March 6 : Antonio Habas was just minutes away from recording his maiden first-leg playoff win in the Indian Super League (ISL). But then, Idrissa Sylla headed in a stoppage-time header to help NorthEast United hold ATK Mohun Bagan to a 1-1 draw at GMC Stadium on Saturday.
The second-half substitute struck in the fourth minute of injury time to cancel out David Williams s 34th-minute goal. The result also meant Khalid Jamil is still unbeaten in the competition and extended NorthEast s winning run to ten games.
