#3 Usual suspects fail to turn up
Ahead of this crunch game, East Bengal coach Trevor Morgan put things into perspective. While his side stand at the top of the I-League points table, their rivals, Mohun Bagan are part of a quartet hunting down his side. “Anybody can beat anybody this season and even Shillong Lajong and Aizawl FC are doing well this season”, he said.
Probably sending across a message to Bagan in the process. The first time these two sides locked horns in the I-League was back in 2008, that match ended 2-2. Indian legend, Bhaichung Bhutia scored in that game. Today, the stellar names failed to impose themselves on the match.
For Bagan, Duffy, Jeje and Katsumi were completely snuffed out of the game. Robin Singh, Wedson Anselme and Plaza rarely troubled the keeper. Defenders from both sides produced good, solid performances. A moment of brilliance or a glaring error was the only probable source for a goal. Neither arrived.
