SRINAGAR: J&K’s leading football club Real Kashmir FC defeated former champions Chennai City FC by 2 goals to nil on Friday to register their first I-League victory of the season at Kolkata’s Kishore Bharati Krirangan Stadium.
The Snow Leopards took an early lead through their Cameroonian striker Asier Pierrick Dipanda Dicka, who scored inside the first 16 minutes of the match. Real Kashmir then sealed the tie with a goal in the 84th minute via attacking midfielder Lalrindika Ralte.
