Sri Bhaini Sahib: Inter Kashi’s wait for their first-ever win in the I-League ended on Monday as they came from a goal down to beat Namdhari FC 4-2 at the Namdhari Stadium in Sri Bhaini Sahib.

In the clash of the debutants, it was Namdhari who made the stronger start, taking the lead in the 14th minute through Harmanpreet Singh, who wrote history by scoring the club’s first I-League goal. Namdhari had held Churchill Brothers goalless in their first match last week, but any hopes for a first win were dashed by the Inter Kashi whirlwind in the second half.

Spanish youngster Jordan Lamela equalised in the 52nd minute of the restart before striker Mario Barco turned the game around with a successful penalty four minutes later. The 30-year-old added another in the 84th minute before fellow Spaniard Imanol Arana pulled one back for Namdhari in injury time.
