Ram Malik, Eric Muranda and Sabeeth scroed each goal and brought a sweet joy over Army-XI in a Kolkata League match. After 4 draw, two in I League and two in Kolkata League Bagan needed a victory badly. Bagan scored all three goals in the first half of the match, while the second half saw a penalty miss of Army-XI and a lot of miss chances of mariners. However, Eric and Ram Malik are the stars of the match, as Eric was adjudged Man of the Match. Kareem complimented Ram Malik as “Mini Katsumi” due to his brilliant game in today’s match.

Mohun Bagan manages to secure point in spite of poor show. Katsumi missed a penalty and two of his shots hit the post, while a fourth one narrowly went out. The only good thing Sabeeth did was scoring the equalizer in dying moments.

As Bagan team fails to win in two back to back matches, the team is getting ready for the iLeague. With its captain out for injury, Bagan officials have decided to release Antony Pereira – mohunbaganclub.com has learnt. Bagan managed to draw against George Telegraph and Peerless after the team was trailing – and will definitely miss Antony’s service.

Team for iLeague (first two matches) –

Sandip, Shilton, Sali, Ravinder, Aibor, Rowilson, Kingshuk, Eche, Nicolau, Ram, Rajib, Denson, Katsumi, Zakeer, Adil, Sabeeth, Eric, Sankar

IT will be interesting to see how Karim repair the gaps that are been created between the attacking,  middle and defensive third.
