TRAU FC in pole position to clinch title
Sunday, May 12, 2019: Lonestar Kashmir 0-1 TRAU FC
TRAU FC picked up their fourth win in a row and are favourites to pick up the 2nd Division League title and gain promotion to the I-League next season.
The game held at the TRC Ground in Srinagar looked like it would end in a draw with both teams goalless and inching towards end of normal time. However, TRAU would break the deadlock in the 88th minute courtesy defender Ngaraipam to seal the win in the nick of time.
After today’s win, TRAU might only need a draw at home against Ozone FC on May 19 to clinch the title depending on other results; three points will ensure they walk home with the title.
