Sreenidi Deccan rode on a late equaliser by David Castaneda against NEROCA FC to delay the I-League title celebrations for Mohammedan Sporting, at the SSA Polo Ground in Shillong on Thursday.
Mohammedan, enjoying a six-point lead over second-placed Sreenidi, would have won its maiden I-League title, had the latter lost the match, with Mohammedan enjoying a better head-to-head record against the Hyderabad-based outfit.
However, Castaneda, who has found the net eight times for Sreenidi, converted a penalty with ease.
It made him the highest goalscorer for his side this season, going past Brazilian William Alves, and salvaged a point for Sreenidi, allowing it to remain in the race for the title race should Mohammedan stumble.
