I-League 2023-24: Rajasthan United trample NEROCA FC

Croatian striker Marin Mudrazija netted a hat-trick for Rajasthan United in this I-League encounter.

Rajasthan United FC registered their biggest victory of the 2023-24 I-League season when they routed NEROCA FC 5-1 on Monday, March 11, 2024.

The winners led 2-1 at half time. Croatian striker Marin Mudrazija, who joined the team last month, scored a hat-trick.

After a spate of unimpressive results, which included the last four consecutive draws,  Rajasthan FC displayed good form to take their points tally to 22 from 19 matches. It also helped them improve their standings by one step and reach the ninth position in the table.

Goals from Ghanian striker Richardson Denzell and Mudrazija in the 20th and 26th minutes, respectively, showcased Rajasthan’s  firm grip over the match. NEROCA’s David Singh managed to pull one back in the 40th minute, but Rajasthan continued their dominance, with Marin completing his hat-trick with two more goals in the 54th and 80th minutes, followed by a late goal from defender Sairuatkuma.

However, the match wasn’t without incident, as NEROCA midfielder Adama Coulibaly was shown the red card in the 56th minute.

NEROCA, who suffered their 10th consecutive defeat, are in 12th place with only seven points. They are now staring at relegation, something they may find hard to avoid.
