It was agony for them in the ninth minute as Satish failed to tap in a Nanda Kumar through pass.Nagaraj and Arvind combined well for BEL with the former’s free-kick from outside the box going over the crosspiece in the 15th minute. The Railwaymen almost scored in the 40th minute when Nanda Kumar made a sizzling solo run on the right before launching a powerful right-footer that was saved by BEL custodian Vasudevan. <br /><br />The second half began disastrously for RWF as Rajan suffered a knee injury after a hard tackle by BEL’s Vikram N in the 49th minute. Andrew replaced Rajan as RWF fought hard to draw first blood but in the 51st minute, Lokesh’s tap-in off a Vikram S cross put BEL 1-0 up. <br />In the 66th minute, Arvind doubled BEL’s lead as he fired past RWF custodian Saravana after collecting a through ball from Nagaraj inside the box. Prakash then got on the board for RWF in the 77th minute with a right-footed strike that found its way to the unguarded corner of the goal. <br /><br />In the 89th minute, BEL’s Mohan left the field after a second yellow for a foul and for gesturing towards the referee. RWF tried hard towards the end but failed to find the equaliser. Other result: ‘B’ Division: Tilak Memorial: 1 (Darshan 30th) drew Sree Gajanana: 1 (Anthony 7th).</p>
