Sreenidi Deccan FC: Mohammedan Sporting finished the first half of the I-League 2023-24 season with a 2-1 win against NEROCA FC at the Naihati Stadium, on Sunday.

This win rounds off a dominant first half of the season for the Black and White Brigade, as they head into the winter break at the top of the table, with a seven-point lead over their closest rivals Sreenidi Deccan FC.

Earlier in the day, Real Kashmir had a chance to reduce this lead, but their 0-1 defeat against Delhi FC, meant that Sreenidi stay second on the I-League table. David Hmar and Remsanga netted one each in a commanding first-half display by the hosts, before NEROCA defender David Simbo pulled one back after the restart, as Mohammedan Sporting ran away with yet another three points.
