Calcutta Football League (CFL) has entered into its end charm and the league becoming interesting day after day. Peerless are on top of the league table with 20 points in 10 games, while East Bengal are holding the second place with the same points, but the goal aggregate makes the difference.

Today Peerless knocked out Rainbow by 1-0. This result decided the fate for the two teams, Peerless are moved to the top of the league table and Rainbow Fc relegated from the CFL.
Peerless came with the determination to the match and the result shown in their game. they started their game on a high attacking note. On the 3rd minute of the game Avinobo's pass created a chance for Peerless but Kromah missed the chance.
In front of the high attacking of Peerless, Rainbow Fc's feeble defence was been routed. On the 12th minute of the game, Dipendu calmly guided the ball into the net which became the decider for the match.
Instead of going to full defence Peerless choose to take more leads and their two goalbound shot on the 16th and 60th minute was been denied by the post.
Although Rainbow Fc got many chances for equalising the game, their fate was sealed.
Peerless will face George Telegraph on their final game on Monday, which will be the league decider.

Bengaluru FC plot move to Ahmedabad or Pune due to stadium dispute


Indian Super League team Bengaluru FC will have to move their squad from the southern city only if they do not play at Sri Contrava Stadium next season.
The venue has been the home ground of the Blues for 25 years. However, protests again took place in 27 because track and field athletes trained there because of the field activities of the JSW Group-owned organization. The Karnataka High Court was soon summoned and they ordered an inquiry into which the Blues were allowed to use the place. The investigation deadline falls in mid-October.
The owners of Bengaluru are optimistic about getting favorable judgment which will help them to stay in Kantiraba. But with the new season fast approaching, any venue registration deadline will see them move out of town.

"We have to look at alternatives and two of them are mentioned in Pune and Ahmedabad," the Bengaluru FC chief executive told the scandal in the recession.
"However, we cannot make a decision until we know what is going on (with Kantirava Stadium). We want to be here and we are optimistic. We are waiting for the official confirmation on the issue, as we cannot do much if we do not hear anything. "
However, Bengaluru FC currently have limited options, considering the club's AFC Cup commitments and the licensing criteria that they must follow. Therefore, the Blues will have to go to Ahmedabad or Pune for the upcoming promotion.
"We have to play in the AFC Cup. So, with this in mind, the only two options are Pune and Ahmedabad, as these two criteria only meet the two stadiums. Orissa was one, but since Delhi is moving there, it is no longer an option, ”said Tamahane.
The Blues are in a tight position with the AFC's September 7 deadline for stadium registration. Changes are also possible in January, but with the ISL season even beginning in October, clubs have very little time to get things rolling.
The concept club will be in a position to make a decision by September 21 for those in Tamanna who are working hard to resolve these issues.

Know your opponent Oman


Oman waited for the right to form a football association until the end of 2005, though the country has been officially playing football since 1979, and the squad was formed earlier. However, the Oman Football Association has been a result of their quality and consequently a weather surge. Its image-perfect imagery can be found in the old golf cup tournament that the nation has been playing since 1974.
INDIA VS OMAN 

Oman, like India, was never able to qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals, but they were brilliant in front of goals in qualification. So far they have played five goals in the WC WC selection, which India should beware of. However, not all of their Firepower top coaches won the World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup.
The Oman team can be characterized as the perfect blend of youthful experience and experience, and like Co-Man al-Mussalami can achieve a huge luxury back then, and Al-Mukhinai still continues their trade. Both of them have exactly 5 caps and negotiate well with the pre-offensive philosophy. They are further supported by al-Balushi and al-Busaidi, who have played for the national team more than six times.
The midfield would be the biggest strength for Coman and Oman with the names on the paper. Al-Mahizri ij ​​will be India's biggest threat and one of the best defenders in the center of the park, with 199 international caps in his name, and the midfielder scored 20 goals for his country. The likes of Saleh (1 cap) and Al-Khalidi provide the perfect cushion for the traveler. Al-Hajri is relatively inexperienced and a freshman, but has scored eight goals in 25 matches.
