Churchill Brothers FC Goa: Churchill Brothers FC Goa took a baby step towards securing their third I-League title after a 2-2 draw against Inter Kashi, at the Raia Ground, on Sunday.

The injury-time equaliser by Churchill Brothers’ Lalremruata (90+4’) was akin to a death knell for Inter Kashi’s I-League 2024-25 title hopes. José Luis Moreno (57’) had earlier put the hosts in the lead, before Inter Kashi roared back with two stunning strikes from Edmund Lalrindika (63’) and Nikola Stojanović (65’), after a goalless first half.

The ball is well and truly in Churchill Brothers’ court after this result, as they now move on to 39 points from 21 matches, three ahead of second-placed Real Kashmir, who they face in the unlikeliest of league finales, on April 6, 2025. Inter Kashi, at third in the table with 36 points from as many matches, are out of the title race due to their inferior head-to-head record against both Churchill and Real Kashmir.
