Super Four Football: Blood Mouth Club out of title race after a defeat against Ramkrishna Club

Blood Mouth Club has been knocked out of the title race after suffering a defeat against Ramkrishna Club on Tuesday.

In the Shyam Sundar Co Jewelers' Chandra Memorial League Football, played at Umakanta Mini Stadium, Ramkrishna Club defeated Blood Mouth Club 2-0 on Tuesday evening. With this win, Ramkrishna Club secured the second position jointly in the points table with three points from two matches.

Chandra-Memorial-Football-Super-FourEgiye Chalo Sangha is currently leading the points table with four points from two matches in the super four round. Both Blood Mouth and Ramkrishna today needed a win to stay in the title race.  

Blood Mouth virtually lost due to Ramkrish Club's strategy. The team's reliable striker, Suro Khambai, received a red card in the previous match and was unavailable for this match. So, the coach brought Gobindas from the wing to the midfield. This proved to be a game-changer. Gobindas scored a goal and also led the midfield.

Ramkrishna started the match with a 4-1-3-2 formation, giving them a slight advantage. In the 14th minute, Ramkrishna Club scored a goal. From the right flank, Tej Kumar's cross was headed in brilliantly by Gobindas to give his team a 1-0 lead. Later, Amit Jamatia and Kartik Orang of Blood Mouth got a few chances but failed to score. As a result, the winning team went into the break leading 1-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Blood Mouth's coach Swapna Kumar Biswas tried to put pressure on the opponents by making three substitutions. But due to a lack of an effective goalscorer, they couldn't capitalize on the chances they got.

On the other hand, Ramkrishna Club played excellent midfield-based football. As a result, they scored a goal in the 40th minute of this half. A powerful shot taken by Tej Kumar hit Blood Mouth's Bulemni's hand inside their own box, and referee Dhanish Shah awarded a penalty. From the spot kick, Olen Singh doubled the lead.

Finally, Ramkrishna Club won 2-0 and earned three valuable points.
