NARAINPUR, CHHATTISGARH: Rajasthan shared points with Bihar as the opening Swami Vivekananda U20 Men’s National Football Championship Group A game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh, on Sunday, April 27, 2025.

Tosif (35’) and Bijay Hembrom (66’) scored for Rajasthan and Bihar, respectively, on either side of the half-time break.

Rajasthan’s Afzal Ashraf played a low cross from the right, aimed at Tosif, who timed his run perfectly to score a tricky tap-in.

Bihar forward Bijay Hembrom scored with his left foot after he received a deflected ball on the left wing. Hembrom placed a perfectly-weighted chip to beat the keeper at the far post and bring Bihar back on level terms.
