Real Kashmir is now second in the I-League table with 28 points.

Real Kashmir upstaged Chennai City FC for the second time and stay in title contention with a 1-0 victory over the table-topper in a crucial I-League match here on Monday.

Ivorian striker Gnohere Krizo struck in the 81st minute to send the home supporters — who braved the near freezing temperature at the TRC ground — into wild celebrations.

Real Kashmir dominated throughout the match with a lot of shots at the opposition goal while Chennai had far fewer attempts at the home side goal.
