Mariners defeat Uttar Banga-XI by 8-0

It was one way traffic at Siliguri where Mariners thrashed Uttar Banga-XI by 8-0 in an Exhibition match at the Siliguri Kanchanjangha Stadium. Sangram was there under the bars in the first half while Shilton was the custodian in the second half.

The 1st goal was scored by Barreto from penalty after Muritala was pulled down inside the box in the 15th minute.
