| Awajee Sulaiman terrorises the Customs defence |
Raj scored a victory over Customs FC in the last minute of normal time in a somewhat dull contest at the Thunderdome.

| As you can see, I wasn't impressed with the first half. |
The second half started in a similar fashion and both teams only had one real chance. A Customs FC striker -sporting the hideous kit you see in the pictures - rounded Yen Emile but was then forced to the touchline. Yen managed to scramble back and push the ball away with one hand but it fell to the same striker again whose chipped shot was hacked away.
At the other end, the ever improving Sulaiman appeared to do the hard work and beat two defenders only to lift his shot over the crossbar.
It all appeared to be hurtling towards a goaless draw until Sulaiman and substitute Kouame Yao Mathieu - on loan from Muangthong United - combined to score a late winner. It was a dose of fortune that represented Raj's upturn in form and the confidence that has clearly come with it. The Raj are now well away from the relegation zone and the young squad can look forward to their FA Cup quarter final match.
