Goalkeeper Sangramjit Roy Chowdhury: Real Kashmir FC’s I-League 2024-25 title hopes took a severe blow as they dropped points, drawing 1-1 against Dempo SC at the PJN Stadium, on Saturday. Didier Brossou (43’) gave Dempo SC the lead, but Real Kashmir’s Kamal Issah (52’) equalised soon after the restart, as the two sides shared points.

Real Kashmir’s title hopes are not yet over, mathematically at least. However, their aspirations took a severe dent as they now find themselves two points behind leaders Churchill Brothers, who have one match in hand. The Snow Leopards have 36 points from 21 matches. Dempo, meanwhile, are on 26 points from 21 games.

Dempo’s backline found themselves on high alert in Fatorda, scrambling, repositioning, and doing everything they could to keep the Snow Leopards at bay. Real Kashmir came agonisingly close, only to be denied by a desperate last-ditch tackle or a misplaced final touch, time and again.
