I-League 2023-24 Points Table: Updated standings after Mohammedan SC vs TRAU game

Leaders Mohammedan Sporting Club beat their opponents TRAU by a convincing 2-0 scoreline in an I-League match at the Kalyani Stadium in Kalyani, West Bengal on Saturday.

Although Mohammedan were the away team on paper, with this game being played in Kalyani, they were technically at home.

TRAU were asked by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to play this game in Kalyani owing to the strife and political disturbance that is taking place in their home state of Manipur.

With the win, Mohammedan solidified their spot at the top of the I-League table with 34 points inside their kitty. On the other hand, TRAU's issues go from bad to worse as they continue to lurk at the last position of the standings.

With just seven points to their name, TRAU are primed to get relegated at the end of the season along with their Manipuri colleagues NEROCA and Punjab's Namdhari FC.
