Convincing win for Indian Nationals

Nationals were put 1-0 up by Jaman S. Rawat in the fourth minute but in the next minute found themselves in a spot of bother as referee Ashok Sharma awarded a penalty to their rivals. But Shahdara striker Sameer Jung failed to make most of the opportunity.

After changing ends, Nationals took complete control and surged ahead through Dharmender Kharola in the 45th minute. A little while later, substitute Dalip Bhandari put it beyond Shahdara’s reach.
