The Story in Brief
Afridi Buyamayum scored twice as TRAU FC beat Indian Navy 2-1 in their final Group D match of the Durand Cup in Imphal on Sunday. Despite facing 26 attempts on goal and sustained pressure from Navy, TRAU fought back to take three points. Both sides finished with four points each, but TRAU placed second in the group while Navy ended third. Neither team progressed to the quarter-finals, as debutant FC Raengdai topped the group and advanced.
The Indian Opinion
Some might call this a giant-killing act, but it is a predictable result for anyone who tracks Indian football. The Navy side, for all its fitness and discipline, lacks the sharpness of a professional club. The real test for TRAU will come in the knockout stage, where they face a side that has actually won a match against a top-tier opponent. Let us see if they can score in a pressure game.
