Career

Shillong Lajong

Lyngdoh signed for Shillong Lajong in 2011 from Rangdajied United, who were then known as Ar-Hima, for whom he was the captain in the last season. He would finish as the top scorer for Lajong during the 2011-12 I-League scoring 4 times . He would then go on to make 23 I-League appearances for Lajong during the 2012-13 I-League season.

Rangdajied United

After spending 2 years with Shillong Lajong, Lyngdoh re-signed for Rangdajied United and made his debut in the I-League on 22 September 2013 against Prayag United at the Salt Lake Stadium in which he played the full match as Rangdajied lost the match 0–2.[1] He would make 19 I-League appearances for Rangdajied.

Bengaluru FC

In July 2014 Lyngdoh signed a one-year deal with I-League winners Bengaluru FC.[2] Lyngdoh scored his first goal for Bengaluru FC during the 2014 Durand Cup game against Mohammedan.[3] Eugene would then score his second goal in the 2014-15 Indian Federation Cup semi-final game against Sporting Goa in a 3-0 win.[4] Eugene kept up his high level of performances and scored Bengaluru FC's first goal of the 2014-15 I-League in a disappointing 1-3 defeat at home to Pune with an outstanding finish.[5] He would score again, this time in the 4th round of the season against Royal Wahingdoh in a 4-0 away win in Shillong.[6] Eugene would then create history by scoring Bengaluru FC's first ever goal in club in Asian continental club competition in a AFC Champions League qualifier against Johor Darul Ta'zim of Malaysia in a 2-1 loss, directly from a corner.[7] By doing so, he became the first player from an I-League club to score in all four club competitions in this season. He would assist club captain Sunil Chhetri during an away game at Mohun Bagan for Bengaluru's opener, but couldn't prevent his team from going down 4-1 at Kolkata.[8] Lyngdoh would assist Josh Walker in a 4-1 win against Sporting Goa on 31 March 2015 with a free-kick into the box, which was headed in for the first goal by the latter.[9] He continued his fine form with another assist from a free-kick into the box for Shankar Sampingiraj to head home in a thrilling 3-3 draw at home to Royal Wahingdoh on 3 April 2015.[10] He assisted Sampingiraj again, this time against Pune on 21 April 2015 with a cross from the left[11] before scoring with a spectacular first time shot from outside the box, and assisting C.K. Vineeth on 24 April 2015 against Bharat FC.[12]

International

Eugeneson made his debut for India on 12 March 2015 against Nepal in the first leg of a two-legged 2018 FIFA World Cup pre-qualifier.[13][14]
