Indian Navy Football Team: Indian Navy Football Team (INFT) earned a crucial 2-1 win over I-League side Real Kashmir FC (RKFC) in a closely-contested Group F encounter of the 134th Durand Cup to earn the first victory in the competition since 2021 at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium here on Friday.
Goals from Vijay Marandi (6’) and Sreyas V.G. (70’) ensured full points for the Sailors, while Franck William Sessegnon’s 64th-minute strike proved to be a consolation for the Snow Leopards.

Real Kashmir’s Ishfaq Ahmed fielded a technically strong 4-3-2-1 setup, headlined by Russian striker Marat Tareck and midfielders Modou Mbengue and Franck William Sessegnon.
