Bagan did not play well in this game and the defense was sloppy.  The midfield was controlled by the Nepalese team that was offensive right from the kick off by the local team. The home team could have got the lead in the 5th minute but Bagan was lucky as the ball hit the post and then Femi’s attempt was saved by Arindam. Later Snehasish had a goal line save.

One can investigate what Chouhan did 24 hours before the game that day and understand his intentions!
