Rtc cruise past Tensung in Premier League
Rtc secured a comfortable 5-1 victory over Tensung in the Regular Season of the Premier League on September 28th, 2026. The visitors, already five points clear in fifth place, had little trouble against a Tensung side languishing in ninth with just eight points from seventeen games. The result extends an unbeaten run for the away outfit and leaves the hosts with another heavy defeat on their hands.
Pema Zangpo gave the home crowd something to cheer early on, scoring in the seventh minute. But then came the turning point, and here's the thing: RTC never really looked back after that. Nima Gyeltshen equalised in the twenty-eighth minute before adding another in the forty-second. By then, Tensung were already second to everything.
The third goal came in the thirty-second minute, unattributed, followed by a fourth in the forty-fourth. Two before half-time from Gyeltshen and a third before that meant Tensung had already fallen behind by three goals. The visitors pulled the strings in those opening forty-five minutes, and the home side cracked under pressure.
Riku Ichimura pulled one back for Tensung in the sixty-sixth minute, but it was too little too late. The visitors had already made their statement. If we'd called for this before kickoff, we'd have said it was likely. The prediction of an away win at 65 per cent confidence has materialised, and looking at the recent form, it wasn't hard to see coming.
Tensung's recent results paint a bleak picture: four defeats in their last five matches, including losses to Thimphu, Drukpa and even the U19 side. RTC, meanwhile, had won their previous outing 6-1 against Circing and drew with Transport United. The gap between them in the table—seventeen points—told the story before the whistle blew.
With twenty-five points from seventeen games, RTC sit comfortably in fifth place. Tensung's eight points keep them rooted near the bottom, and at this rate, they're going to have hit a wall soon. The visitors now have the chance to push higher up the table, while the hosts face another difficult period ahead.
