I-League: Real Kashmir End Campaign With Victory Against Mohammedan Sporting

Danish Farooq (34th minute) and Mason Robertson (51st) scored for the Snow Leopards while Pedro Manꦕzi pulled a goal back in the 72nd minute for the Black Panthers.

With this win, Real Kashmir e🥀nded their campaign in fifth place, accumulating 21 points from 15 games.

Coming on the back of a 0-1 loss to Punjab FC, Real Kashmir tried to take an early lead by starting on the front foot. Although the Snow Leopards hurled bodies u﷽pfront in order to capitalise from l𝄹ong balls, it was their opponents Mohammedan Sporting that had the first real chance of the match.

In the eighth minute, Pedro Manzi we🉐nt for a goal from outside the box. His effort, al𓆏beit well hit, was saved easily by the opposition goalkeeper.

Five minutes later, Mason Robertson found himself in the tဣhick of the action when a long ball found the towering defender inside the box. Robertson, although clinical in the air, lacked the accuracy to guide the ball home as the Black Panthers survived a dangerous spell of play.

The stalema🐼te was broken in the 33rd minute courtesy of a corner kick. Lalhmangaihsanga ꦕRalte's corner kick met the head of Danish Farooq who thumped the ball home from close range.

Real Kashmir coul🍬d have found the net again in the 48th minute had Adnan Ayoub not skewed his shot wide of goal, after combining for a 𝔍one-two with Danish Farooq.

However, it was only a matter of time before the Snow Leopards struck again. In the 51st minute, Mason Robertson scored from the penalty sp🌠ot after a rash tackle had prompted the referee to point to the spo𒆙t, as Real Kashmir doubled their advantage.

Even after Shankarlal Cha♍kraborty had made an attacking change, bringing on Faisal Ali, at the start of the second half, the Black Panthers seemed to lack creativity in the final third.

All of that changed with the substitution of Tirthankar Sarkar. In the ꦛ72nd minute, Sakar's co🌞rner found Pedro Manzi, who thumped the ball home from close range.
