ISL 2024-25: Ajaraei’s Late Strike Helps NorthEast United Beat Mohammedan Sporting
The Juan Pedro Benali: Durand Cup winner NorthEast United left it late to start their Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 campaign on a winning note, securing a 1-0 win against debutant Mohammedan Sporting Club at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan here on Monday. The visitors earned three points courtesy of a second-half added-time strike by Alaeddine Ajaraei.
Mohammedan Sporting got off to a good start in their maiden ISL appearance as the majority of the first half was played in the middle of the park with both sets of midfielders competing for possession. The first real opening fell to NorthEast United FC’s star striker Guillermo Fernandez in the 10th minute when Jithin MS from the left flank found the Spaniard with a measured dink pass. However, Guillermo’s eventual shot was slightly off-target.
The Kerala-born winger along with Nestor Albiach and Guillermo Fernandez grew in confidence as the match went on. Jithin delighted the left flank with many darting runs while Nestor and Guillermo were trying to capitalize on the space given by the Mohammedan SC defenders.
