Hello and welcome to Technosport’s coverage of the Calcutta Football League derby clash between East Bengal and  Mohun Bagan.

An evenly distributed match saw Mohun Bagan scoring 2 goals in the first half as they dominated throughout. Right at the end of halftime, the Red & Gold came back in through Acosta’s header from Shilton Paul’s mistake.
While in the first half Bagan was dominant throughout, the second half was more cherishable for the Red & Gold crowds.

Beginning of the second half, Mehetab Hussain’s knee injury crumbled Shankarlal’s plans as he had to be replaced. It was sad for the Bagan side as they failed to hold up their lead.

Nevertheless, Bagan keeps up their streak of remaining unbeaten in their last seven encounters against East Bengal. Whereas its sad for the Red & Golds as their signing of world-class defender also could not rescue them from conceiving goals.
