Tollygunge Agragami scored late to hold Mohammedan AC 1-1 in a quarter-final league match of the IFA Shield football tournament on Monday and enter the semi-finals of the tournament.
In a slow-paced match, because of the slippery underfoot conditions, caused by heavy rain before the start of the match, both the teams missed many goal scoring chances.
Mohammedan AC went into the lead in the fifth minute, when Arup Sarkar's powerful shot found the net.
Tollygunge found the equaliser in the last minute of the match when Laltu Das headed home following a corner, to earn his side a draw and a berth in the semi-finals.
