Meghalaya created history by becoming the fourth team to book their place in the semi-finals of the 76th National Football Championship for the Hero Santosh Trophy in Bhubaneswar. Their dream came true when they beat former champions West Bengal 2-1 in their concluding Group B encounter at the OFA 7th Battalion Ground.
