Mohun Bagan met United Skiim FC in a practice match at Mohun Bagan Ground. Barreto and Masih scored for Bagan while Babatunde scored a goal for United Sikkim. The ground condition was not good and hence the players seemed not to give their best. The defense was not up to the mark as well. However Bagan striking force missed lot of opportunities to score.

Barreto scored the first goal when he got a final pass from Odafe, and watched the Sikkim goalie coming up to cover the ball. Barreto received the ball and then lobbed it over Sikkim goalie ti make it 1-0.

Later Bagan conceded a gaol when Masih failed to clear a ball and Babatunde scored without any difficulty.

Masih compensated later when he hit a long ranger and the ball kissed the net. It was a brilliant goal indeed.
