The fans will be hoping for more such shocking results in the next round
Round 13 of the I-League might have been depleted with three fixtures being postponed, but these two big results proved more than enough to make up for any missed drama. Things are about to heat up even more with non-stop action for the next 11 straight days.
Round 14 kicks off with Real Kashmir travelling to Sri Bhaini Sahib to face Rajasthan United FC on Friday at 2 pm. It will be important for the Snow Leopards to not get carried away with the big win and build consistency on the road.
Rajasthan United have shifted base once again this season, playing out of the Namdhari Stadium now, which means it will be Real Kashmir’s third visit to Punjab. They will hope to make it third time lucky after losing on both occasions previously without scoring a single goal.
