Kolkata, Feb 28 (PTI) Rajasthan United FC made it two wins in a row after defeating a listless Mohammedan Sporting by a solitary goal in the I-League here on Tuesday.

Rajasthan United always had the match in control and the difference between the two teams was much more than Otabek Zokirov's solitary goal.

Rajasthan United soaked in the pressure whenever Mehrajuddin Wadoo's men could build an attack.

After converting everything that came their way against Sreenidi Deccan, Mohammedan Sporting somehow went back to playing the directionless game, which has been their undoing this season.

Kean Lewis, a big hero of the last match, was a shadow of himself. So were Abiola Dauda and Mirlan Murzaev. Even the introduction of Marcus Joseph in the 60th minute did not change things.

Atai Dzumashev had yet another good match, providing the assist for Zokirov's ninth minute goal. It was a corner from the left, delivered perfectly into the box, where Zokirov rose unchallenged to head it in through the far post.

Murzaev got a golden chance to equalise just before the breather. Dauda passed across the goal from the left of the box, and unlike a few other occasions, Murzaev did keep his powerful left-footer on target.

But Rajasthan United skipper and Hero of the Match Melroy Assisi did the most heroic thing possible – cleared it off the goalline.

The ball went out for a corner and then came the only moment that could be blamed on the home team's misfortune. Nikola Stojanovic took a perfect corner from the right that Sandip Mandi headed back toward the far post. It beat everybody but the upright.

The only other real chance for Mohammedan Sporting came in the 74th minute, when Dauda finally found space inside the Rajasthan United box to shoot at the goal but goalkeeper Vishal Joon kept that scorcher out with both hands.

Pushpender Kundu's men thus moved up to the seventh spot with 25 points from 20 matches.
