Real Kashmir FC: Gnohere Krizo scored a brace as Real Kashmir FC prevailed 3-2 over hosts Sreenidi Deccan FC in a thrilling I-League match at the Deccan Arena here on Monday. The win not only highlighted Real Kashmir’s capability to secure crucial points away from home but also maintained their pursuit of the I-League title.

While Krizo took his goal tally to 12 in the I-League, Real Kashmir’s other goal was scored by Ifham Tariq Mir. For Sreenidi Deccan, Rilwan Olanrewaju Hassan and Eli Sabia were the scorers. The Deccan Warriors though lost the plot in the match when they were reduced to 10 men after Mohammad Sajid Dhot was given marching orders in the 86th minute. The win took Real Kashmir to the second spot in the I-League table. They have 33 points from 17 matches with 10 wins, three draws and four losses and are five points adrift of leaders Mohammedan Sporting.

Meanwhile, Sreenidi Deccan have the same points after playing an identical number of matches but are third in the standings due to an inferior head-to-head record. The meeting between these two sides in Srinagar back in December had finished goalless.
