I-League 2018-19: 3 reasons why Real Kashmir drew with Churchill Brothers FC

#2 Churchill attackers holed out by tight Kashmir defence

Kashmir maintained an astute defence

It’s not easy to keep players quiet throughout 90 minutes who has 15 goals in his kitty. However, though Willis Plaza has managed one more against Real Kashmir, but credit should be given to their defenders for keeping him quiet for a major part of the game.

Real Kashmir have conceded the least number of goals among all the teams. They have maintained eight clean sheets coming into this match. It was expected Plaza and Anthony Wolfe would not get a walk in the park.

That is what happened on the field. Loveday Okechukwu, Aaron Katebe and Dharmaraj Ravanan did a splendid job on the field. While Loveday and Katebe was enough to keep Plaza and Wolfe away for some time, Ravanan managed to foil the threat of winger Dawda Ceesay.

Churchill should’ve shown more urgency into the game. They should have exploited the midfield more and create chances with counter attacks.
