IMPHAL: NEROCA FC did all the hard work but Rajasthan United did what a team needs to win a football match - scoring the goal. This sums up the I-League match at the Khuman Lampak Stadium on Thursday, as they romped to a 1-0 victory on Thursday. Pushpender Kundu’s tenth-placed side jumped ahead of NEROCA on the points table (22 points from 19 matches) to take eighth place with this victory. With none of the teams below them having more than four matches at their disposal, Kundu can justifiably hope that his team has already escaped relegation. Uzbek striker Otabek Zokirov may not have expected to score from that half-hearted right-footer from the edge of the box at the half-hour mark. NEROCA goalkeeper Soram Porei was at the right place to grab it. It is just that the ball changed its direction after hitting Paogoumang Singson on the way. (IANS)
