Mumbai: Air India regained the Elite Division title after they played out a tame goalless draw with defending champions Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) in the concluding ‘Super Six’ play-off match, of the MDFA (Mumbai District Football Association) League, played at the Cooperage ground, here, on Monday evening.

The point earned from this win ensured Air India finish in pole position with 13 points, from four wins and a draw.
