Kalyani, March 16 : Relegation was confirmed for North Eastern Re-Organising Cultural Association (NEROCA) FC on Tuesday as the Gift Raikhan-coached team slumped to yet another defeat, this time losing to Sudeva Delhi FC 0-1 in the I-League on Tuesday.
Gursimrat Singh Gill’s header in added time of the first half proved to be the difference between the two sides in a match where NEROCA had largely themselves to blame for the defeat at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium.
Coming on the back of a 0-1 loss to Aizawl FC in their last match, NEROCA needed to gather all three points in order to stand a chance of taking the relegation battle to the final match day. The Gift Raikhan-coached side played with desperation from the opening minutes of the match, in their quest to take the early lead.
