Well done Blues! A highly deserved achievement. TC earlier in the day just being the newbie they are could not cope up with the mounting pressure and lost composure. I wonder whether the players had proper nights sleep! Regardless TC deserves also some credit; they made the league bit interesting. But how nizam will rue the missed opportunity!Eagles will be laughing.

I see something strange in Maziya’s valiant effort which ended in a defeat. I think they did not do their best to win the game. Knowing they are out of title race and yet TC very much in it -- and possibly to win the league title if they win the final game of the season as the first promoted side -- Suzain might have played the cards close to his heart. He will not like to see another local coach making a magnificent record which will eat into his unblemished achievement . So before the match he might have given away through his body language and from the tone of his voice the cue that it hurts less losing to bitter rivals rather than seeing TC coach already in contention for best coach of the year to hog the limelight. So his players played accordingly. If you go by the circumstantial evidence he has vested interest!

Yeah, this match could be a sell out just to deny TC their first ever league tittle. Congrats TC.

Well done NRSC! Four titles in a row is an incredible achievement, especially considering the turmoil that has gone on behind the scenes at the club. I was actually hoping the title decider would go to the final day just for excitement's sake, but alas, TC's lack of experience showed in the end. Whatever the case, I think TC deserves a lot of credit. Nizam and his coaching staff showed that he does not need a team full of superstars to challenge for the title. Instead, they relied on very promising young players and a few players who had lost their way a little at other clubs. Maziya and Suzain will be looking at them with a touch of envy, having invested so much to strengthen their squad yet falling well short of the champions. Again, it's going to be Maziya and NRSC in the AFC Cup next year. I don't really want to place much hope for either to make it past the group stages considering how it went the last two years, it all depends on when the DPL kicks off next year, as well as how both teams decide to approach the tournament, but I really, really hope that next year will be the time when both clubs shine on the continental stage. FAM and the Youth Ministry needs to put an end to their childish spats and actually work together for once.

The law of kama shall prevail . Let's Maziya be jubilating that the denial TC of the title. It will also come to their own turn too that they will depend on other matches for them to qualify. i am very sure , they will be disappointed.
