In a friendly match Mohun Bagan won 5-1 against Kalighat MS. Nabi, Odafe(2), Jewel and Ashim scored for Bagan. Shilton and Anwar’s mistakes costed Bagan a goal. Odafe was instrumental behind all five goals Bagan scored. Add to it – atleast 5 times either his shot was saved on the goal line or his pass to Sunil or Manish were shot off target by his fellow mates.

This was a game without Jose Barreto. Hence there was an additional load on Odafe. Ad Odafe proved that he is on course to hit peak. A 60% match fit – he was instrumental behind all 5 goals and 5 more opportunities!

However, Odafe showed his greatness and his sense of final passes within the box. In the last match he played, his understanding with Barreto definitely gave a positive message to the fans and followers. Today’s game is just an indication that, have he be fit – Bagan definitely won’t have a trophyless season this year.
