Bagan gets past Abahony

Mohun Bagan secured three points after they won against Abahony (BD) by 3-1.

 

Bagan conceded a goal early in the match when defense was caught slow in reacting to an Abahony move. The vall was crossed from right of Abahony , a player was allowed to hold the ball, and he placed it well through Sarthak.

 

In the dying moments of first half Balwant cross found Sony who passes it to Jeje and Jeje scored the equalizer.

In the second half Yusa cross found Balwant on the edge of the box , he got into the box and chipped the ball well over the goalie to make it 2-1.

 

In the dying moments of second half Sony placed the ball well tonthe left of the Abahony goalie to make it 3-1.

However Balwant missed three seaters and Prabir missed one as well. Otherwise Bagan could have increased the margin.

 

MB 3-0 BFC

There was a tension among Bagan supporters since Santosh was the referee of the game. However players did well to ensure Santosh could only cancel two goals , to end up winning the game 3-0. Yusa (2) and Duffy were the scorers.

 

Yusa first scored a goal, and Santosh got a chance to cancel the same. However in two minutes Yusa scored again , and did not allow Santosh to cancel it.

 

Duffy scored from a Sony free kick. Santosh could not cancel the same.

Another Sony solo found unmarked Yusa who did well to place the ball in far post to get his second. Later Duffy scored another goal but Sony was adjudged offside. All three goals and two rejected had Sony’s assistance.

Bagan was fouled off and on by BFC players, Santosh failed to stop them, and perhaps was not interested to stop them as well. Like Mehtab, Watson was found continuously fouling and getting away. These kind of refereeing is dangerous for the spirit of football. However Santosh is always like that in last few years that raised eyebrows towards his integrity as referee.

Bagan defense played well. It was good to see Sehnaz coming back to shape, and so was Raju. This is a good comeback for Raju.
