Margao: Churchill Brothers came from behind to hold Vasco SC to a 1-1 draw in a group D quarterfinal match of the 127th Durand Cup, played at Raia Panchayat ground on Sunday. The first half was drab and neither team went for the kill, confining play to midfield. Churchill Brothers looked more attacking in the second half as they made inroads but conceded a goal in the 54th minute from a penalty after Keeper Sukhwinder Singh needlessly fouled substitute Emmanu Elchinedu inside the box. Vasco's Emmanu stepped up and converted it. Churchill Brothers regrouped after the setback and after persistent effort restored parity in the 66th minute when Sunday Chizoba Nwadialu gave a pass to a better-placed Pankay Sona inside the box who guided the ball into the net.
