CHIMPU, Mar 3: Bamang Taji FC (BTFC) survived an early scare to hold defending champion Gora Makik SC to a 1-1 draw and finish in the top-four in the Indrajit Namchoom Arunachal League (INAL) here on Tuesday.
Timmy Ryngkhulem scored for GMSC in the 40th minute to set BTFC nerves jangling but Hage Talo restored the parity in the 59th minute with a beautifully taken penalty kick.
GMSC maintained their third spot with eight points from four matches while BTFC secured their place in the top-four with seven points from five matches.
