Sreenidi Deccan FC will aim to climb to second place when they face Rajasthan United FC in Round 8 of the Indian Football League 2025–26. The team, currently fourth, is coming off a draw, while Rajasthan enter with a win
Rajasthan United FC were held to a 2-2 draw by Sporting Club Delhi in their final Group D match of the AIFF Super Cup. Goals from Pedro Astray and Robinson Blandón gave Rajasthan a 2-0 lead, but SC Delhi fought back with goals from Sourav and Alan Saji
In a tense opening Group D encounter, Rajasthan were reduced to ten men, with Gursimrat Singh Gill seeing a straight red card, but still pushed the Blasters all the way before Obieta’s strike in the dying minutes sealed the points
It took a moment of brilliance from Angel Orelien in the 86th minute—a magical strike directly from a corner—to secure the victory and all three points for Sreenidi Deccan FC. Amorim’s side will next face Delhi FC on Monday at the Deccan Arena.
After clinching their first win of the season, Sreenidi Deccan FC will welcome Rajasthan United FC to the Deccan Arena in the next round of the I-League 2024-25 season on Thursday.
