Minerva clinch top stop
In a battle between form and reputation, it was form that triumphed as Minerva showed why this season they have been a notch higher than their more illustrious opponents. They looked a more cohesive unit and even showed better interplay within each other.

Bagan looked short on ideas while Minerva seemed to be going about their business with specific plans. Their young side has just shown that as a unit, they can be better than some of the more famous teams in the competition. Their defence also held it's own very well. As they go on to play three of the top-four teams in their next few games, this result will certainly prove to be vital.
Minerva also go top of the table with a game in hand, pushing East Bengal down to the second spot. Thus Khogen Singh's quest for the title remains on target.
