Former champion Churchill Brothers produced a hard-fought 2-1 win over Rajasthan United FC to start the championship leg of the I-League on a promising note at the Naihati Stadium on Tuesday.
Komron Tursunov gave Churchill the lead midway through the opening half by finishing a fine counter-attack. Rajasthan United defender Tarif Akhand miscued an attempted clearance into his own goal to help Churchill double the lead in the injury-time of the first half and record its fifth straight win of the tournament.
