Dempo thrashes Aizawl FC
Dempo Sports Club pushed Aizawl FC further into an arduous situation in the I-League 2024-25 relegation struggle with a resounding 5-2 victory at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Monday.
Trinidad and Tobago striker Marcus Joseph was the hero of Dempo win with a hat-trick (26’, 75’, 90+6’) under his belt. Pruthvesh Pednekar (5’) and Vinay Vijay Harji (78’) were the other scorers. For Aizawl FC, Zothanpuia (34’) and Lalbiakdika (90+1) found the target.
While Dempo now can consider itself placed in a much safer position with 25 points from 20 matches, former champion Aizawl FC faces the threat of finding itself relegated unless some dramatic changes happen in the last two rounds of the league.
Aizawl FC now has 19 points from 20 matches and is placed 11th in the points table ahead of already relegated Delhi FC. Since two teams will be relegated, it is expected to be a last-minute scramble between Aizawl FC and Sporting Club Bengaluru, which too is precariously placed in the 10 position, with 20 points from as many matches.
