Mohun Bagan’s 0-1 loss against Army XI ensured that Bagan is no more the title contender of CFL 2015/16. In fact one should congratulate Bagan’s arch rivals for winning the league for consecutive 6th time well in advance.

It was matter of time for the officials’ unprofessional attitude to be caught, and it happened at the middle of the league. One can very well imagine with Shilton Pal as goalie, Sanjay Balmuchu and Pratik as defenders and Pankaj , Asif , Bhargavin midfield, how much serious or rather farsighted the officials were during recruitment.  However one will not be surprised if the officials start the blame game and raise fingers towards the coach.

Supporters, be prepared for another fruitless season.

The referee was perhaps having a secret agenda, like that of the SAI match to stop Bagan from scoring as he denied two clean penalties today. One can recall two clean goals were rejected by the referee Bakshi against SAI.

However a brace from Yusa and a brilliant header from Dudu left the referee in a soup as he had to give in.

Dudu’ s inclusion in the Bagan team started giving returns from the first game. Dudu not only scored 3 vital goals and assured 3 important points for Bagan, he led the team very well from front. One is sure that players like Ram Malik or Pankaj Moula will be able to learn movements off the ball from Dudu. Their failures today ended in only 5 goals for Bagan.

However central defence was worst today that led to conceding two goals, and a goal line save.

Yusa scored two goals as the scoreline showed 5-2.
