Its Sangram Mukherjee 0-0 Mohammedan Sporting. It could have been something else – say 5-1 for Mohammedan Sporting – could have been 6-1 or could have been 1-0 for Mohun Bagan had referee given the clean penalty for Odafa.

Whatever could have been the score line – one thing is clear – Mohammedan was better of the two sides – with 80% ball possession. Earlier Dempo and Prayag "played" with Bagan – Mohammedan is the third team in line.

Reason ? A half line that didnot exist and an attacing third out numbered.

Odafa had to work hard getting the ball from defense and trying to score on his own – but was outnumbered each time he tried to do so. If a team has a central defensive midfield in Zeleny, two wingers in Ruidas (U-19 quota) and Gouranga – and is playing against a team whose coach was coached India and iLeague clubs- one can very well understand the kind of supply line Odafa had.

Not much to talk about- Bagan was lucky to get a point from this game.

Line Up: Sangram Mukherjee, Surkumar Singh, Kingshuk Debnath, Anwar Ali, R. Dhanarajan, Gouranga Dutta (Dipendu Dowary, 82′), Daniel Zeleny (Rakesh Masih, 45′), Manish Maithani (Souvik Chakraborty, 73′), Abhinas Ruidas, Jose Ramirez Barreto and Odafa Okolie.
