Imphal, May 14 2026:
NEROCA FC's battle to stay in I-League 2 suffered a major blow as they went down 1-3 to Sudeva Delhi FC at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium this afternoon.
Having lost 4 times in 7 matches, NEROCA FC entered the field with a do-or-die approach in their final league match but were undone by two quick Sudeva strikes before the half-hour mark before a stoppage time goal deepened their relegation fears.
It was Rituraj Mohan who put the visitors ahead in the 20th minute before Jajo Prashan doubled the advantage in the 53rd minute.
Leimapokpam Sibajit Singh scored late in the 85th minute to give NEROCA FC some hope but Md Ejaj Ahamad dashed all hopes of the home side by netting Sudeva Delhi FC's decisive goal five minutes into the stoppage time.
With the result, NEROCA remain precariously 8th in the table on 5 points from 1 win and 2 draws and their fate will depend on the result of the currently 9th placed GMSC vs 2nd placed FC Bengaluru United match slated for tomorrow afternoon at Neville D'souza Ground.
