Sreenidi Deccan Football Club were held to a 1-1 draw by Inter Kashi in the penultimate Matchweek of the I-League 2023-24 football championship at the Kalyani Stadium, West Bengal on Monday.
The Deccan Warriors created enough chances to win the game but last ditch defending and poor finishing let them down, leaving league leaders Mohammedan Sporting Club with a chance to clinch the title against Shillong Lajong on Saturday.
The win keeps the Deccan Warriors on the heels of league leaders Mohammedan SC, six points separating the two sides with the latter having played a match more.
The Deccan Warriors were in a comfortable lead at half time but late goals from Stendly Fernandes and Lamgoulen, the former helped by a mistake from Sreenidi Deccan goalkeeper Albino Gomes, helped the Red Machines steal a point and derail the hosts' title challenge.
Lalromawia's first half goal gave the Deccan Warriors all three points and kept them in second place in the I-League standings, five behind leaders Mohammedan SC.
The Deccan Warriors also saw defender Sajid Dhot sent off for two bookable offences as they lost more ground in the I-League title race, falling to their third home defeat of the season.
Sreenidi Deccan Football Club will be hoping their attack clicks as they face the league's best defence in Real Kashmir here at the Deccan Arena in a Matchweek 17 I-League game on Monday.
David Castaneda scored very early on for the Deccan Warriors but his goal was eventually cancelled out by Mohammedan SC substitute Mohammad Jassim as both teams settled for a point each in this top of the table clash.
After a few substitute appearances, William was given his first start in the 5-0 victory over TRAU where he did everything except get on the scoresheet but in the next game against Rajasthan United, the goal came from a scrappy corner but they call count.
