The win took Real Kashmir to 26 points from 18 matches but they remained in sixth due to their inferior head-to-head record with Churchill Brothers. Aizawl is now seventh with 23 points from 18 games
It will be difficult for Churchill's coach to digest that the team that pumped in five goals past Rajasthan United in an away fixture just last week could not score even once against Real Kashmir's notoriously terrible travellers this season. But it also lays bare his challenge.
Despite Real Kashmir putting pressure during the lengthy eight minutes of stoppage time, Mumbai Kenkre managed to see the game out without a hitch, ensuring that they bag three crucial points while condemning the visitors to their third successive defeat.
