MB 2-0 DSK Shivajians

Mohun Bagan has got 3 vital points against DSK Shivajians here at Pune. Sony Norde scored a goal each for Bagan. Bagan had rested Pritam and had Raju in the first team. Brandon also found his position in the first XI. This helped Yusa play in the centre and helped the team to mobilise from middle third.  Brandon can become the man Coach wanted in the right half.

 

DSK was reduced to 10 men after Ralte got double booking and got marching order. However Bagan failed to increase the score.

Jermaine Pennant factor

Former Arsenal and Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant would play an important role against Mohun Bagan in AFC CL qualifying round on 27th Jan 2016. Jermaine Pennant have recently joined Tampine Rovers. He played for other English teams like Birmingham and Stoke. Pennant played for Pune City FC in ISL.

 

Bagan fails to impress

Mohun Bagan fails to impress today. This match will definitely keep the Head Coach into worries as the team goes to play AFC Champions League against Tampine Rovers.  Sony Norde was off colour, Yusa still making supporters nervous and Glen failing to convert opportunities into goals.

 

The Bagan defense made one mistake today and Ranty Martins , found off guard converts the mistake into a goal. However this could be debates if Ranty was in offside position. Glen did well to find the equalizer for Bagan. Bagan failed to take the advantage of an additional foreigner today. In the return league KEB will definitely have balance and will rather start as a better team than Bagan.

However it will still remain an unsolved mystery why the Indian referee can’t see fouls of Mehtab when it comes to iLeague.
