    "editor1": "<p>Already crowned champions a week ago, RoundGlass Punjab ended the I-League season in style with yet another convincing 2-0 victory over TRAU FC here at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Staikos Vergetis&#39;s men finished with 52 points from 22 matches, becoming the first champion side to cross the 50-point mark since Churchill Brothers in 2012-13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey presented the prizes in a simple ceremony. AIFF Executive Committee Member and AIFF Futsal Committee chairman Vijay Bali was also present.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The icing on the cake for RoundGlass Punjab was Slovenian forward Luka Majcen&#39;s brace on the night, which allowed him to surpass David Castaneda&#39;s tally and win the Golden Boot with 16 goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tiddim Road Athletic Union (TRAU) knew before kick-off that they would finish fourth even if they manage to beat this season&#39;s I-League champions, as Gokulam Kerala cemented third place by beating Sreenidi Deccan earlier in the day. It is difficult to say whether that led to a lack of motivation, but Leimapokpam Nandakumar Singh&#39;s boys did not look the pugnacious lot they have been this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Luka Majcen, however, was his usual self around the opponents&#39; penalty area. He scored his 15th goal of the season and the first of the match in the 35th minute with a dipping right-footer from well outside the box.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Majcen&#39;s hot pursuit of becoming the league&#39;s top-scorer finally came to an end just after the break with a coolly-placed header. Freddy Lallawmawma made a sharp turn on the right edge of the TRAU box and sent a perfect cross to the Slovenian waiting in the middle between two defenders. He headed it into the left corner to make it 2-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>TRAU could never stage a comeback. The Red Pythons will now take on Aizawl FC in the Hero Super Cup qualifiers on April 6. RoundGlass Punjab have already qualified for the group stages as Hero I-League champions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Majcen&#39;s hot pursuit of becoming the league&#39;s top-scorer finally came to an end just after the break with a coolly-placed header. Freddy Lallawmawma made a sharp turn on the right edge of the TRAU box and sent a perfect cross to the Slovenian waiting in the middle between two defenders. He headed it into the left corner to make it 2-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/cricket-tales\">Cricket Tales<\/a><\/p>\r\n",
