Agartala (Tripura), July 26, 2025: In a fiercely contested encounter at the Umakanta Mini Stadium on Saturday evening, Blood Mouth Club registered a narrow 1-0 win over Ramkrishna Club in the Shyam Sundar Co. Jewelers Chandra Memorial First Division League, organized by the State Football Association.
The defining moment came in the 31st minute when Peter Singh unleashed a stunning strike that eventually proved to be the match-winner. While Blood Mouth Club took the lead, their performance reflected some lingering frustration from their recent Shield defeat, with several missed opportunities in the final third.
Despite flashes of dominance, the black-and-orange brigade failed to capitalize on multiple chances to double the lead, leaving the door open for a possible comeback by their opponents.
Ramkrishna Club’s Winless Run Continues
Last year’s Shield runners-up, Ramkrishna Club, struggled once again to find their form. After two matches across both the recent Shield and ongoing League tournaments, they remain without a win. However, coach Kaushik Ray’s men showed notable improvements in coordination compared to their earlier performances.
Their forward line, however, lacked the precision needed to turn chances into goals—a concern echoed by fans and analysts alike, who emphasize the need for sharper finishing.
Dramatic End as Red Card Mars Ramkrishna’s Late Push
Tension peaked in the final minutes of the game when referee Satyajit Debbarma handed a red card to Shakti Tripura of Ramkrishna Club. Reduced to 10 men, the team’s hopes of a late equalizer were dashed. Blood Mouth Club held their nerve to secure all three points in what could be a pivotal early win in the League campaign.
