All India Football Federation President: Martand Raina and Gerard Artigas scored a goal each in added time and the late flourish of goals saw Rajasthan United FC come back from a goal deficit to beat SC Bengaluru 2-1 in their first-ever I-League encounter at the Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium here on Thursday. Both of Rajasthan’s goals came in injury time, leaving Bengaluru at rock bottom in the table, a point adrift of their nearest challengers having played a game more.

Asif OM (85’) had put the visitors in the lead late in the second half, but Rajasthan dug deep and scored twice in injury time through Raina (90+3’) and Artigas (90+6’), whose spot-kick made all the difference in the end.

Jaipur became the latest addition to the list of I-League venues and the All India Football Federation President Kalyan Chaubey was present at the venue to witness the match, and interacted with the players ahead of kick-off. Rajasthan United, with this win, climbed a couple of spots on the I-League table, to sixth, with 10 points from seven matches, while SC Bengaluru remain at the bottom with five points from as many games.
