A goal by Dawa Sherpa in the injury time of the match helped Sikkim to get one point from this 1-1 draw match.
Sikkim now has 4 points from a win and a draw in the point tally in group-B.
The highly competitive first half of the match ended goalless and the second half was also full of action.
Meghalaya scored at the 78th minute of the match to give a lead.
The Sikkim team, however, continued to counter-attack and Dawa Sherpa scored the equalizer during the extra-time.
Sikkim manager, Arjun Rai expressed that the squad played a wonderful game but they were unable to capitalise on several goal-scoring opportunities.
“Our keeper Nindup Lepcha made some crucial saves in the match,” he added.
Sikkim will play its last match against Mizoram and a victory or even a draw will see them through to the semi-finals.
