A spectacular long-range goal by Rohen Singh clinched a 2-1 victory for Real Kashmir FC against TRAU FC in the gripping Group F match of the 134th Durand Cup held at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium on Monday.

The match drew to life with swift back-to-back goals in the 24th and 26th minutes. First, Real Kashmir's Marat Tareck scored, followed rapidly by TRAU's Afridi Buyamayum, energizing a crowd of over 20,000. The decisive moment came from Singh's 64th-minute shot, securing crucial points for the Snow Leopards, despite robust opposition.

TRAU's coach Thangjam Saran Singh fielded a local squad with Afridi Buyamayum spearheading the attack, facing a Real Kashmir setup under Ishfaq Ahmed that included foreign talents like William Sessegnon and Marat Tareck. Early on, TRAU dominated possession, yet it was Real Kashmir who scored first, before TRAU quickly equalized.

The match continued with TRAU showing strength on the wings but lacked precision in key moments. After the break, Real Kashmir gained momentum, resulting in Singh's stunning goal that decided the game. TRAU's situation worsened when their captain received a second yellow card in the 77th minute.

In the end, Real Kashmir emerged victorious, securing three points. Despite TRAU's spirited performance and strong home crowd support, they faltered on missed opportunities and a damaging red card. Looking ahead, Real Kashmir faces NEROCA FC on August 10, while TRAU will meet Indian Navy FT on August 12.
