I-League 2023-24: Mohammedan Sporting Club Win By 2-1 Against Sreenidi Deccan Football Club

The Deccan Warriors found themselves two goals down before substitute William Alves converted a late penalty to give his side a chance to fight back, but his effort was not enough.?

The buildup of the contest was dominated by the inclusion of Mohammedan SC’s overseas players Mirjalol Kasimov and Alexis Gomez, who were serving bans for eight and four matches respectively.

In a late development, their suspension seemed to have been revoked as both Kasimov and Gomez were included in the starting eleven.

Kasimov made an immediate impact as he produced the first goal for the winning side Mohammedan FC, scoring from outside the box in the 37th minute of the contest.
