Tiago sent Shubham Das the wrong way and he converted from the spot, to reduce the gap to 2-3.Real Kashmir continued to pile on the pressure in stoppage time as they maintained possession and tried to keep making penetration attempts inside the six-yard box.Tiago Adan passed a brilliant ball inside the box, inviting the Neroca FC goalkeeper to come forward to get hold of the ball. But the ball went above him and Surchandra Singh guided the ball into the empty net bringing his team to a level pegging.
