Somaiya FC started their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Pillai Salsette FC, thanks to a first-half injury-time goal by Mohd. Subhan Shaikh. Pillai Salsette FC dominated possession but couldn’t break through Somaiya’s defense.
Head Coach Vinod Chhatre of Somaiya FC praised his team’s dedication and preparation: “ Last season is behind us. We’ve worked hard in training, and the morale in the camp is incredibly high. The players are focused, and the commitment on and off the pitch is commendable. We are ready to take on the challenges of this season with renewed energy.”
Full Time: Salsette FC 0-1 Somaiya FC (45+2′ Mohd Subhan Shaikh)
