I-League 2023-24: Late Strike By Rajasthan United's Debutant Mudrazija Upsets Real Kashmir

Sri Bhaini Sahib: An injury-time goal by debutant Marin Mudrazija gave Rajasthan United a valuable and deserved win over a listless Real Kashmir in the I-League 2023-24 at the Namdhari Stadium in Sri Bhaini Sahib on Friday. The win puts Rajasthan United up to ninth on the table, eight points clear of the relegation zone, albeit having played a game more.

The first half of the game was defined by a series of near misses and what-ifs, the biggest of which arrived from the de facto home side Rajasthan United in the first quarter of the game. Having been played through on goal via a brilliant through ball, Lalchungnunga Chhangte seemed to have beaten the keeper with his effort, only to see it bounce off the post and cleared to safety.

Despite the huge gap between the two teams on the table —- and the fact that Real Kashmir had recently beaten the then-unbeaten table-toppers Mohammedan Sporting —- Rajasthan United looked the fresher and hungrier unit and had more shots and possession through the first half of the game. The only real occasion on which Bhabindra Malla Thakuri was tested in the Desert Warriors’ goal was via a low cross in the box, by Krizo. Rajasthan’s wingers kept the pressure up on a brittle Real Kashmir defence through the second half, and yet it was Malla Thakuri who was called into desperate action more often than his opposite number several times in the second half.
