10-man Railway beat Maharashtra in Santosh Trophy

An own goal in the first half by Abhishek Ambekar proved costly for Maharashtra as they lost 0-1 to Railways in a Group B final round league encounter of the Santosh Trophy football tournament.

The all-important goal came in the 33rd minute when Ambekar's clearance off a Phool Chand Hembram cross turned suicidal.

Railway now have three points from three matches after their first victory. Maharashtra are yet to open their account after two matches.
