TRAU FC and NEROCA FC played to a 0‑0 stalemate in the Imphal Derby of the 135th IndianOil Durand Cup on 28 July 2026 at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium in Imphal, India. Both sides created several chances but were denied by disciplined defending and goalkeeping. A second‑half red card reduced TRAU FC to ten men, yet neither team could break the deadlock.
TRAU FC coach Thangjam Saran Singh fielded a foreign‑heavy spine featuring Senegalese defender Seila Toure, Ugandan midfielder Adriko Rogers and Liberian striker Ghanefo Ansumana Kromah. NEROCA FC coach Yumnam Raju Mangang relied on Ghanaian defender Ben Nash Quansh and forward Charles Teiko Folley, with a balanced midfield to support both attack and defense. The match was broadcast live on Sony Sports Network and streamed on SonyLIV.
