SRINAGAR, Dec 4: Real Kashmir Football Club (RKFC) secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Delhi FC in an I-League match, at the TRC Ground, here today. This win marks RKFC’s second at home in three matches, with the other being a draw, and they are still unbeaten with seven points from three games.
Bouba Aminou gave Real Kashmir the lead in the 72nd minute with a header, followed by Lalramdinsanga Ralte doubling the advantage in the 84th minute. Delhi FC responded with a goal from Stephane Samir Binong in the 89th minute, but it wasn’t enough to mount a comeback.
