NorthEast United FC are set to face Rangdajied United FC in their final group-stage match of the Durand Cup 2025 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong on Monday.

The defending champions have picked up right where they left off last year, registering back-to-back wins in their opening two fixtures. With six points from victories over Malaysia’s Armed Forces (3-1) and Shillong Lajong FC (2-1), the Indian Super League (ISL) side have already sealed their place in the quarter-finals. Moroccan forward Alaaeddine Ajaraie has been in blistering form, scoring five goals in two matches, including a hat-trick in the opener and a brace in the Shillong derby.

Despite their qualification, the Highlanders will be keen to maintain their winning momentum as they head towards the quarter-finals of the Durand Cup for the third straight year.

Rangdajied United, meanwhile, have been eliminated from the tournament after consecutive defeats, 3-1 to Shillong Lajong and 1-0 to Malaysia’s Armed Forces. Sitting at the bottom of the group, they will look to restore some pride in their final outing.
