IFL: Rajasthan United post comfortable win over Samaleswari SC
Digital Desk | Rourkela, Nov 15 (IANS) Rajasthan United FC claimed their first win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Samaleswari SC in the Star Cement Indian Football League 202627 at the Birsa Munda Athletics Stadium. After a goalless first half, two second-half goals settled the match, and Thomyo Shimray was involved in both. He opened the scoring in the 51st minute with a shot from a tight angle. In the 87th minute he crossed for Brijesh Giri, who headed in the second goal and was named Man of the Match. The result lifts Rajasthan to eighth in the table with three points from three matches. Samaleswari remain bottom and are still looking for their first points after three games. Both sides started brightly, and each went close inside four minutes. In the second minute Alan Thapa met a cross from the left with a powerful header that went just over the bar. Two minutes later Yoihenba Meitei shot from outside the box, and the ball hit the crossbar and came back into play. The game soon became a stop-start contest for control, with plenty of tactical fouls and neither side able to take charge. The Desert Warriors were the first to find a way through. In the 20th minute Judah Garcia got into the box and beat goalkeeper Padam Chettri, but his shot went just over. Garcia then sent a direct free-kick off target, and Pranjal Bhumijs low shot made Padam dive at full stretch before it went wide. Those three chances in five minutes showed Rajasthan gradually taking control. Samaleswaris best opening came in the 34th minute. Yoihenbas free-kick was not cleared, and Gope palmed away Mohammed El Jaaouanis first-time shot. Rajasthan had the clearest chance of the half two minutes before the break. Shimrays free-kick reached Sabir Musa at the far post, and Padam came off his line but could not reach the ball. Musas header bounced up near the line and went over the bar. The first half had started directly, but the second began more cautiously, with both teams keeping men back. It took a moment of invention to break the deadlock. Rajasthan worked a short corner, and Shimray carried the ball into the box from the right. Instead of looking for a team-mate in the middle, he shot from a very tight angle. The ball beat Padam at his near post and went in off the woodwork. The goal changed which side had to take risks. Samaleswari now needed to come forward, and Rajasthan found more space. Four minutes later Shimray was back in the same position and sent a low cross across the six-yard box, but no one was there to meet it. Soon after, Thapa had room to shoot from the left of the area. Padam could not hold the shot, and Shimray could not keep the rebound on target. Samaleswari kept pushing. In the 61st minute Jorge Pereyra Diaz worked his way into the box despite close marking and went down as he waited for a chance to shoot. The Argentinian and his team-mates appealed for a penalty, but the referee waved play on. In the 76th minute Christopher Kamei had time in the final third and hit a long-range shot that came back off the crossbar. Samaleswari put together several promising moves in the closing stages, but Rajasthan dealt with them calmly. They neither sat deep nor attacked relentlessly. Instead they picked their moments to go forward, and moving Garcia into midfield was central to that approach. His presence and physical strength gave Rajasthan control in the middle. They gave up some territory, but they kept a firm hold on the central areas in front of their own goal. Three minutes from time, Samaleswari lost the ball in their own half. Shimray ran down the left and swung a precise cross to the far post, where Brijesh held off his marker and headed in. Samaleswari pressed until the end, and deep into stoppage time Veer Arjun Joshis lob from the edge of the box found El Jaaouani at the far post, but Amrit Gope made a brilliant save to preserve the clean sheet. Samaleswari SC host Nagaland United SC at the Birsa Munda Athletics Stadium in Rourkela on Thursday, November 19, while Rajasthan United FC play Chanmari FC at the Vidyadhar Nagar Stadium in Jaipur on Friday, November 20.

Plot allocation to be completed within three months: Rajasthan CM on petrochemical zone
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 14 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that the Rajasthan Petrochemical Zone has the potential to emerge as a major hub for employment generation and revenue growth, while taking the state's industrial economy to new heights. He stressed the need to promote the establishment of more petrochemical-based industries in the zone and ensure that petrochemical products are manufactured and utilised within the state. Rajasthan has immense potential for industrial development and the state government's initiatives are giving unprecedented momentum to industrial activities. The planned development of the Petrochemical Zone will further expand investment opportunities in the state, he added. On Saturday, the Chief Minister chaired a high-level meeting to review the development of the Rajasthan Petrochemical Zone, investment opportunities and its industrial potential. He directed officials to complete all development-related processes within stipulated timelines and position the zone as an attractive industrial destination for investors. He emphasised that the allotment of industrial plots should not remain a mere formality; concrete steps must be taken to ensure that industrial activities commence on the allotted plots within the prescribed timeframe. During the meeting, the Chief Minister directed officials to complete the allocation of industrial plots in the Rajasthan Petrochemical Zone within the next three months. He further instructed that industrial units should be established and made operational within six months of plot allocation. He also directed officials to expedite the auction process for the remaining available plots and issue notices to allottees who have failed to commence industrial activities despite having received plot allotments. Emphasising the need for optimal utilisation of industrial land, he said that allotted plots must be used for actual manufacturing activities and should not remain idle or be held merely for speculative investment purposes. The Chief Minister said that the Petrochemical Zone should be developed with a clear focus on ensuring that products derived from the refinery are utilised by industries within Rajasthan. This would strengthen local manufacturing, reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency. He directed officials to assess the potential for utilising petrochemical products in the manufacturing of various goods, including cement and pipes. He also called for a comprehensive assessment of the existing demand, consumption patterns and future industrial requirements for petrochemical products within the state. The Chief Minister further directed officials to hold discussions with entrepreneurs already operating in the region and representatives of relevant industrial units. These interactions should focus on understanding their requirements, demands and suggestions, followed by appropriate action to address their concerns. The objective is to integrate existing local industries into the Petrochemical Zone and develop a strong, interconnected industrial ecosystem. The Chief Minister directed officials to organise investor meetings in Balotra to attract maximum investment to the Rajasthan Petrochemical Zone and promote industrial production in the region. He said investors should be encouraged to utilise the by-products generated by the refinery for establishing downstream industries. To facilitate this, he instructed refinery officials to take necessary measures to ensure that investors setting up industrial units in the region can access refinery by-products at concessional rates.

WPGT 2026: Jasmine Shekar wins second title of season, holds off Vani and Ridhima at Rambagh
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 14 (IANS) Jasmine Shekar managed to extend her overnight one-shot advantage to two shots and claim her second title of the season in the 14th leg of the Women's Pro Golf Tour (WPGT) 2026 at the Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur on Saturday. The 21-year-old Jasmine, who hails from Bengaluru, took the lead into the final round, held her nerve to card 1-over 71 and finished ahead of two of the most experienced players in India, Vani Kapoor (72) and Ridhima Dilawari (74). In a week when no player had an under-par total, Jasmine aggregated 5-over with rounds of 74-70-71, while Vani Kapoor (75-70-72) was 7-over for three days and Ridhima (74-71-74) was 9-over at the challenging course. Shweta Mansingh (74-75-71) was fourth at 10-over for three days. Jasmine has been one of the consistent performers on the domestic circuit, more so this year. She had opened her 2026 campaign with a victory in the first leg in Mumbai and had since come close to adding to that tally, finishing runner-up at both DLF Golf & Country Club and Jaypee Wishtown. At Rambagh, she finally converted another opportunity into a title. She became the third player after Ridhima and Vani to win more than once in 2026. The result was particularly satisfying because the challenge came from two players who have enjoyed outstanding seasons. Vani and Ridhima had shared second place going into the final round, and both had the experience and form to put Jasmine under pressure. Vani had also arrived in Jaipur on the back of an impressive runner-up finish at the Hero Women's Indian Open, the best result of her Ladies European Tour career. Jasmine, however, did just enough to give herself a chance and convert it into a fine win. The Rambagh Golf Club course, a par-70 layout, proved a demanding test throughout the week. Scoring was difficult, with players finding it hard to get into red figures. In fact, there was just one under-par round in the entire tournament, a superb four-under 66 by Tvesa Malik. Despite producing the lowest round of the week, Tvesa could finish only tied seventh, underlining the difficulty of the conditions. She was tied seventh with Ananya Datar, a first-round co-leader with amateur Ojaswani Saraswat (74), who was tied fifth alongside Riya Jadon. Jasmine played solid on the final day and was steady. She had two bogeys on the second and fifth, which put her in danger. However, she had a birdie on the Par-3 sixth followed by five straight pars. Another birdie on the 12th was followed by four more pars. She looked set for the win as she stayed ahead of Vani. She could even afford a bogey on the 17th. Vani had two bogeys and no birdies on the front, and on the back nine she had just one birdie, but she also bogeyed the 18th. A birdie on the 18th could have got her into a play-off, but it was not to be, and she lost by two. For Vani, second place was another strong result in a season in which she has remained one of the leading forces on the domestic circuit. The experienced professional has already won twice this year and finished runner-up on three occasions before the Jaipur event. Her recent performance at the Hero Womens Indian Open had further underlined her ability to compete at a higher level. Ridhima, meanwhile, continued to add valuable points to an already impressive season. The Order of Merit leader has been the most consistent player on the tour, with four victories before this event, and her third-place finish keeps her firmly in position to win the Merit honours. Though the result at the Jaipur leg looked close, this week belonged to Jasmine, who never let things get out of hand. The next event, which will be the final one for 2026, will be held at Noida Jaypee Wishtown, which had also hosted the sixth leg, which was won by Ridhima, and Jasmine was second.

Rajasthan: Medical store set on fire after 17-year-old CA student dies
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 14 (IANS) Tension gripped Rajasthan's Bhilwara district on Saturday after the death of a 17-year-old CA student, allegedly following an injection administered at a medical store for fever and cold. Angry family members and residents set fire to the entrance of the medical store, pelted stones and demanded the cancellation of its licence and strict action against the operator. The incident occurred in the Subhash Nagar police station area. The confrontation took place around 3:30 PM on Saturday (November 14), when an agitated crowd gathered outside the Lav-Kush Medical Store and set fire to its shutter. The deceased, identified as Prachi Mehta, was a resident of the Subhash Nagar area. According to her family, she had developed a mild fever on November 11. After initially visiting a private hospital where no doctor was available, the family went to Lav-Kush Medical Store, located opposite the Subhash Nagar dispensary, to purchase medicines. The family alleged that the medical store operator, Ram Prasad, suggested administering an injection for immediate relief instead of providing medicines. Trusting his advice, they agreed to the injection. However, Prachi's condition reportedly deteriorated soon afterwards. Her legs became swollen, and blisters began appearing on her body. She was taken to a private hospital in Bhilwara, from where she was referred to a hospital in Udaipur. Despite receiving treatment for a day, she died on Friday evening (November 13). Prachi was pursuing Chartered Accountancy (CA), and her examination was scheduled for Saturday. Her birthday was also just five days away, on November 19. Her grandmother, Rupa Mehta, said the family was devastated by her death. Prachi's father, Rakesh Mehta, runs an imitation jewellery business, while her younger sister, Moli, is a Class 10 student. Following Prachi's death, a large number of family members, residents and community members gathered outside the medical store on Saturday afternoon. The protesters set fire to the shop's shutter and pelted stones. A large number of children also joined the protest. The demonstrators demanded the cancellation of the medical store's licence and strict action against its operator. Police personnel from the Subhash Nagar police station reached the spot and attempted to pacify the protesters. The Tehsildar and other senior officials were also called to the scene. The medical store was subsequently sealed, while its operator, Ram Prasad, reportedly went absconding. Subhash Nagar Station House Officer (SHO) Kailash Bishnoi said Prachi had died under suspicious circumstances while undergoing treatment in Udaipur. He added that the family had alleged that the medical store operator administered an incorrect injection, leading to the deterioration of her health. The police have taken note of the allegations, and further action will be initiated based on the family's complaint. Prachi's body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination. The protesters also made serious allegations against the medical store operator, claiming that four other people had died after receiving treatment at the establishment in the past. They further alleged that Ram Prasad had been providing medical treatment without a valid licence and used his alleged political connections with the BJP to intimidate people. The allegations are yet to be independently verified. Police and the concerned authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding Prachi's death and the claims regarding the medical store's operations.

Digital Desk | Gangtok, Nov14 (IANS) The 49th Junior (U-19) National Badminton Championships got underway here on Saturday, marking a significant milestone for Indian badminton as the tournament becomes the first national championship in the country to feature an all-women panel of chair umpires. A total of 17 umpires from across the country have been selected to officiate at the prestigious national championship. These umpires were selected after assessing their performances at the All India Ranking Tournament (u-15/u-17) held in Jaipur earlier this year. The Inter-State team event will be played over two days, with the individual events starting on November 16th. The Minister for Sports & Youth Affairs, Raju Basnet, said, It's a great honour for all of us to have participants from all over India in this beautiful and wonderful state of Sikkim. Highlighting the significance of the all-women chair umpiring panel, he added, With an all-female team of umpires officiating this tournament, Sikkim is at the forefront of women's empowerment, and this is just another step forward. Explaining the reason behind the initiative, Badminton Association of India (BAI) Secretary General Sanjay Mishra said, This is an important step towards encouraging more women to take up officiating at the highest level. Our objective is to create a larger pool of qualified and experienced women umpires in the country and provide them with opportunities to officiate at major national events. This initiative will also inspire more women to pursue umpiring as a career, Mishra added. Organising Secretary Sukanta Das said hosting the U-19 Nationals for the first time in Sikkim was a matter of immense pride, with the tournament also giving the state an opportunity to be part of a historic moment in Indian badminton. On behalf of Sikkim Badminton, we have immense gratitude to the Chief Minister, Shri Prem Singh Tamang (Golay), for his wholehearted support and for extending state-event status to the championship. It is a matter of great pride and happiness for Sikkim to host the U-19 National Championships for the first time. It is even more special that the tournament is creating history with an all-women panel of chair umpires, he added.

Rajasthan Minister hits back at Ashok Gehlot over Budget Files
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 14 (IANS) Public Health Engineering Minister Kanhaiyalal Choudhary has launched a sharp counterattack against former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over his Budget Files video series. Accusing the previous Congress government of turning the Jal Jeevan Mission into a hub of corruption, Choudhary said Gehlot was now questioning a scheme that had been plagued by irregularities during his own tenure. Describing Gehlot's criticism as ironic, the minister invoked the Hindi proverb, Sau chuhe khakar billi haj ko chali (After devouring nine hundred mice, the cat sets off for a pilgrimage), suggesting that the former Chief Minister was attempting to lecture the present government despite his own administration's record. Choudhary alleged that Rajasthan's reputation was tarnished by large-scale irregularities in the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission between 2018 and 2023. He claimed that the scheme witnessed serious irregularities, including pipelines being shown as laid on paper without actual execution, water tanks being constructed without functional connections, and widespread financial corruption. He further pointed out that the then Public Health Engineering Minister was also jailed in connection with the alleged corruption. According to Choudhary, the Congress government turned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious initiative to provide tap water to every household into a hub of corruption. The minister claimed that more than Rs 1,000 crore allocated under the scheme had lapsed during the Gehlot government and that the stipulated deadline had also expired. He said Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma personally visited Delhi to seek an extension from the Central government and subsequently ensured better utilisation of funds, giving fresh momentum to the mission. Choudhary added that the present government was accelerating implementation and had so far provided tap water connections to more than 15 lakh rural households. Taking a direct dig at Gehlot, he asked why pipelines were allegedly laid only on paper during the Congress regime, why water tanks were not connected to supply networks, and what action had been taken against those responsible for corruption. Highlighting the Bhajanlal government's initiatives towards water security, Choudhary said the state was taking significant steps to make Rajasthan self-reliant in water resources. He stated that work orders worth Rs 26,000 crore had already been issued under the Ram Jal Setu Link Project. He also highlighted the efforts being made to secure additional water resources through the Yamuna Water Agreement and the Kishau Dam Agreement, which are expected to benefit the Shekhawati region. Concluding his counterattack, Choudhary alleged that the Gehlot government had allowed the Jal Jeevan Mission to become embroiled in corruption, whereas the Bhajanlal Sharma government was working to restore the scheme and accelerate its implementation. He said the people of Rajasthan were well aware of the Congress government's record and that Gehlot could not hide his administration's failures by releasing videos under the banner of Budget Files. While our government is delivering results on the ground, Gehlot is merely raising questions through videos, the minister remarked.

171-run Knock Changed Women's Cricket Perception: Harmanpreet Kaur Unveils Wax Statue In Jaipur
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Indian women's cricket star Harmanpreet Kaur on Friday joined the league of cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Virat Kohli as her wax statue was unveiled at a ceremony held at the Rajasthan International Centre (RIC) in Jaipur. Organisers noted that the figure, crafted by the Historica Museum, is the world's first wax statue of a female cricketer and will be placed on permanent display at the 'Historica: Step into History' museum at Nahargarh Fort. Reflecting on her career milestones at the event, Harmanpreet said her historic 171-run knock played a pivotal role in transforming public perception around women's cricket in India. She observed that the sport has undergone a remarkable shift, with stadiums increasingly drawing packed crowds and growing numbers of women turning out to cheer for the national side. Drawing a parallel with India's 1983 men's World Cup triumph, she stated that the women's team's World Cup success had similarly reshaped the landscape of the women's game. This is just the beginning. Women's cricket will reach even greater heights in the coming years, she said. Recalling the World Cup victory at Lord's, Harmanpreet described lifting the trophy as one of the most unforgettable moments of her life, emphasising that the triumph was the culmination of the entire squad's collective dream and unity. During the ceremony, young aspiring cricketers from Jaipur welcomed the Indian skipper with a guard of honour using raised bats. Touched by the gesture, Harmanpreet interacted with the youngsters, posed for photographs, and urged them to pursue their sporting ambitions with dedication. Describing the wax figure as a deeply emotional milestone, Harmanpreet noted that seeing her statue displayed alongside cricketing icons she grew up admiring reflected years of perseverance and early career struggles. She also lauded the sculptors and museum team for the detailed measurements, photographs, and video recordings undertaken to create an accurate likeness. Highlighting the need to nurture grassroots talent, Harmanpreet pointed out that India's villages and small towns possess immense sporting potential. Having hailed from a similar background herself, she called for greater encouragement and improved sporting infrastructure for aspiring female athletes in rural areas. She added that coordinated initiatives by state cricket associations and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), alongside an almost year-round cricketing calendar, now offer emerging players a stronger platform to build professional careers.

Rajasthan Chief Secy holds meeting with UNESCO on AI Ethics and capacity building
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 13 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas held a meeting with a delegation from UNESCO to discuss the implementation of a globally recognised course on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI), aimed at strengthening the knowledge, skills and competencies of public officials in the effective, ethical and responsible use of AI in governance and public administration. The proposed course, designed by UNESCO, seeks to equip government officials with the necessary understanding of emerging AI technologies and their practical applications in governance. It will focus on building institutional capabilities to harness the potential of AI while ensuring that its adoption remains ethical, transparent, accountable, inclusive and aligned with public interest. The course will also familiarise officials with the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of AI in government functioning, including its role in improving administrative processes, enhancing decision-making and strengthening public service delivery. Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of responsible AI practices and ensuring that technological advancements are adopted with due consideration for ethical principles and governance standards. The initiative is aligned with the objectives of the Rajasthan AI/ML Policy 2026, which envisages promoting the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning across various sectors, including government administration. The collaboration with UNESCO is expected to provide public officials with access to globally recognised expertise and learning resources, enabling them to better understand and apply AI-based solutions in their respective areas of work. The initiative is expected to strengthen the institutional capacity of the State Government, promote informed and responsible use of emerging technologies and facilitate the integration of AI into governance processes. It will also contribute towards making public administration more efficient, responsive and citizen-centric, while ensuring that technology-driven interventions remain guided by ethical considerations and public welfare.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru/Dimapur, Nov 13 (IANS) FC Bengaluru United host Real Kashmir FC at the Bangalore Football Stadium while Nagaland United SC make their home debut when they welcome leaders Gokulam Kerala FC to the Chmoukedima Football Stadium in Dimapur in another weekend double-header in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026/27 on Saturday. FC Bengaluru United return to the Bangalore Football Stadium sixth in the table with three points from two matches. After defeat in their opening fixture, they marked their first home game in the Indian Football League with a 4-3 win over Mohammedan SC last Friday. Headers from Marat Tareck and Gautam A. put them two goals up inside 20 minutes, and after Mohammedan drew level at 3-3, substitute Akshunna Tyagi headed the winner in the 91st minute. A second home win on Saturday could lift Head Coach Nallappan Mohanrajs side into the top four. Speaking ahead of the match, head coach Nallappan Mohanraj said, After losing our first game, the next match was very crucial, so bouncing back to get three points on our home turf was very important and gives us the confidence to go deep in this competition. The 4-3 result was great for the fans, but as a coach, I do not like to concede too many goals. We have understood our defensive lapses, worked on them in training, and we are prepared to flex ourselves to the maximum to get points against an experienced team like Kashmir. Russian striker Marat Tareck, one of the scorers against Mohammedan, said the mood in the camp had stayed high since that win. Everyone was really happy after the first win, and because we have a really good coaching staff who take care of the atmosphere, we could just enjoy the moment, said Tareck. In all the training and video sessions since, we have enjoyed the win, and we are looking forward to getting more points. Real Kashmir FC, captained by Marcus Joseph, travel south eighth in the table with one point from two matches. The Snow Leopards drew 1-1 with Sreenidi Deccan FC at home last Saturday. Lesotho forward Thabiso Nelson Brown, named Man of the Match, put them ahead in the 19th minute. He reacted first after Sreenidi goalkeeper Kamaljit Singh saved Josephs header from Lalawmpuia Sailos cross. Colombian forward David Castaeda Muoz equalised in the 52nd minute, and Brown came close to a winner ten minutes from time, but Kamaljit turned his effort away. Looking ahead to the trip, Head Coach Ishfaq Ahmad said, Away matches are always difficult, and you only get two days to adapt before you have to perform. The Bangalore Football Association ground is a challenge in itself, especially playing on that turf. We know FC Bengaluru United will have good confidence after their 4-3 win against Mohammedan SC, but we are here to compete. From our first to our second match, we have grown, and hopefully we will perform the same way we did against Sreenidi and play disciplined football to get a positive result. Mousa Qureshi said the squad had settled quickly in Bengaluru. The boys have been gelling well together since the first day of the season, everyone is quite motivated, and we have adjusted well to the Bengaluru weather, said Qureshi. It is a long season ahead, and we are improving each day and backing each other up. We know our ability and what we can do in this league, and hopefully the next match brings our first win. Saturdays match will be the first meeting between the two clubs in the Indian Football League. Home comfort for Nagaland United SC Nagaland United SC will play in front of their own supporters for the first time in the IFL 2026/27 on Saturday evening. The debutants are fifth with three points from one match, and a win would draw them level on points with the leaders. That single match was a 3-1 victory over Real Kashmir in Srinagar on October 30. JH Remlala scored in the third minute, and Vanlalhriatzuala K. doubled the lead in the 21st. Real Kashmir pulled one back through an own goal in the 59th minute before Vanlalhriatzuala, named Man of the Match, restored the two-goal cushion in the 74th. Speaking ahead of the clubs first home match, Head Coach Kaizad Ambapardiwalla said, Winning our IFL debut against Real Kashmir has given the players confidence and belief, but we understand that every match brings a new challenge. Gokulam Kerala FC are a quality side with experience, and we expect them to be well-organised, physically strong and dangerous in key moments. Playing our first-ever IFL home match in Nagaland is a matter of great pride and responsibility, and our primary focus is on maintaining our discipline, managing the tempo and fighting for a positive result. Captain Rohmingthanga said the occasion carried meaning well beyond the result. I thank God for our away win in Kashmir, and while the dressing room mood is good, one win is just a start, said Rohmingthanga. As captain, my job is to make sure the boys dont feel the pressure, but feel the pride, because this is not just 90 minutes this is history for Nagaland. We want to make our home a fortress, and we will give everything for this badge and this state to make our supporters proud, he added. Two-time champions Gokulam Kerala FC top the table with six points from two matches. Head coach Carlos Eduardo Parreiras side won 1-0 against 10-man Rajasthan United FC in Jaipur last Saturday. Brazilian forward Crislan Da Silva reacted first to a looping clearance in the 68th minute and lifted the ball over the advancing goalkeeper. The trip to Chmoukedima is the latest in a run of five consecutive away matches. Speaking ahead of the encounter, Gokulam Kerala FC head coach Carlos Eduardo Parreira acknowledged the challenge of facing a motivated debutant side backed by a vocal home crowd, but emphasized his squad's title ambitions. We had a good preparation coming off a strong away win, and we want to keep this good momentum going, Gokulam Kerala FC head coach Carlos Eduardo Parreira said. Nagaland had a very good game against Real Kashmir away, and since it will be their first match at home, we know they will come very strong against us with the support behind them. Our players are experienced and know how to deal with these situations. Outlining the club's objectives, Parreira added, Since we started the season, we have been preparing the team to finish in the top three and potentially be champions. If we want to be champions, we need to win these away games. We know it will be very tough to play here, but to continue our plans, we need to get these three points. Gokulam Kerala FC's Ghanaian forward Dennis Antwi echoed the confident mood within the dressing room as they chase a third consecutive victory. The team is very motivated, Dennis Antwi said. We are very happy to have won two games in a row, but we remain focused, and tomorrow we hope to keep the winning momentum going. This will be the first competitive meeting between the two clubs. With FC Bengaluru United and Real Kashmir FC both desperate to climb the table, and Nagaland United SC aiming to mark their historic home debut with a win against league leaders Gokulam Kerala FC, Saturday's double-header promises plenty of action and emotion.
