RTC FC Begin Campaign in Style with Dominant Victory Over Tensung FC
RTC FC delivered a complete and commanding performance as they overpowered Tensung FC with a convincing 4–0 victory, showcasing sharp attacking play, creativity, and clinical finishing throughout the match.
The home side came close in the 39th minute with a brilliant attacking move. A cheeky and intelligent combination between Kinzang Tenzin and Pema Zangpo unlocked the Tensung defence, sending Pema Zangpo through on goal in a one on one situation. However, his effort was straight at the goalkeeper, who kept Tensung FC alive with a crucial save.
Just a minute later, RTC FC were denied again as Nedup Dorji produced a top-class stop. This time, Sardor Jakhonov unleashed a powerful attempt, aiming for the far corner, but the goalkeeper was equal to it once again with a strong save.
From the resulting corner, RTC FC finally broke the deadlock in a moment of clever set-piece execution. Pema Zangpo opted for a smart low corner instead of the traditional delivery into the box, rolling it to Sardor Jakhonov at the edge of the area. With space opening up, Sardor made no mistake, striking a superb long-range effort into the net to give the home team a deserved 1-0 lead just 4 minutes before the initial half-time break.
The deadlock of the second half was broken when Sardor in the 74th minute, once again proving why he is the heartbeat of this RTC FC side, stepped up with a beautifully taken free-kick from a tight angle. The effort marked the second goal of the match, giving RTC FC a deserved lead and setting the tone for what would become a one-sided contest.
RTC FC continued to build momentum, and their dominance soon produced another moment of brilliance through Pema Zangpo in the 84th minute, who produced a moment of pure brilliance from distance. Unleashing his signature long-range strike, he delivered a rocket of precision and power that flew past the goalkeeper with no chance of a save. It was a thunderous finish that left the opposition stunned and firmly shifted the momentum in RTC FC’s favour. The strike perfectly summed up RTC FC’s confidence, as they turned dominance into a statement performance and stretched their lead to three, completely overwhelming Tensung FC in the process.
With control firmly established, RTC FC continued to pile on pressure and soon added a fourth goal to seal the result in the additional minutes of the game. The visitors struggled to cope with the intensity, as wave after wave of attack broke through their defensive lines. The final touch of brilliance came from debutant Jigdrël, who marked his first appearance for RTC FC in unforgettable fashion.
Set up by Tetteh, the debutant made no mistake, calmly slotting home to complete the 4-0 scoreline and cap off a dream debut in front of the home fans. Despite the flurry of goals and strong team performance, it was Sardor who stood out as the driving force behind RTC FC’s display. His control in midfield, leadership, and crucial second-half free-kick earned him the well-deserved Man of the Match award.
RTC FC will take huge confidence from this dominant display, combining creativity, teamwork, and clinical execution to secure a statement victory over Tensung FC.
