Jose Barreto and Sunil Chettry showed their worth against Shillong Lajong. Alas – its too late and Bagan – 3 weeks back- iLeague contender – is now out of the race. Had Barreto and Sunil showed their worth in last 3 games- Bagan could have still be chasing the topper Dempo!

Bagan scored 6 goals today. Nabi scored the first one from a through by Barreto. Nabi got the control over the ball and made no mistake in scoring a neat goal. Barreto showed his worth and had another through for Sunil who made no mistake in scoring the second goal for Bagan.

Odafa then scored the 3rd goal by placing the ball on the left of the goalie who was expecting the ball to his right. Later Odafa bulldozed into ajong box and dribbled past 7 players to score his second.

Sunil was fouled in ajong box and Barreto converted the penalty to a goal.

Sunil scored again later by swarving the ball into the net from the edge of th box.

However Subhash Singh scored when Bagan defense failed to clear a ball.

Mohun Bagan is going to play their 24th match of the I-League 2011-12 tomorrow against Shillong Lajong FC at the YBK. The kick-off is going to be 3:30 pm. After losing 6 points in the last three matches, our I League hopes are almost buried. The expectation of the millions of supporters around the globe from Mohun Bagan is to play some good football in the remaining four matches and salvage some pride by finishing among the top four team in the overall standings.

 We would love to see the men in green and maroon to play their hearts out tomorrow to prove that whatever has happened in this season was a mere unfortunate journey and they were actually capable to achieve more.

Mohun Bagan successfully hold HAL 0-0. Bagan did not give HAL chance to score. Shilton was brilliant in saving goal. Rakesh Masih did well in stopping Hamza as well. Kingshuk was also good in not allowing HAL to score. Surkumar and Nabi ensured HAL does not operate from both flanks. Nabi also did not commit any handball today. Barreto also did well. He was found playing for full 90 minutes – a great feat indeed. Pradeep , Jewel, Odafa, Sunil were good in stopping HAL to operate from the middle third. Lima also did well – couple of his passes were actually to his team members. Ashim was also good – so good that he was taken out before the first half ended. The only exception was Manish Bhargav – the kid was the only one who did take shots on target at HAL goal.
