Rudrapur Police Line produced a decisive 3-0 victory over Moradabad in the Tagore Trophy quarter-final at Tagore Nagar, Shaktifarm, booking its place in the semi-finals.
The winning team took control almost immediately. Gaurav opened the scoring within the first 2 minutes after moving past Moradabad’s defenders and finding the net.
Moradabad had to chase the game from that point, but Rudrapur Police Line maintained its advantage through the opening half. Just one minute before the interval, Ashok Singh converted a pass from Sher Singh Bora to make it 2-0.
Moradabad attacks without a goal
Moradabad tried to change the contest after the break. Morris, Anas, Yash and Sachin led the side’s attacking efforts and launched several attempts to reduce the deficit.
Those efforts did not produce a goal. Rudrapur Police Line’s defence protected its 2-goal lead, leaving Moradabad unable to turn its second-half attacks into a comeback.
The result was sealed 2 minutes before full time when Suraj Badola scored Rudrapur Police Line’s third goal. The late strike confirmed the quarter-final win and sent the team into the next stage of the competition.
