I-League 2018/19: 3 reasons why East Bengal won against Indian Arrows

#2 Borja Gomez Perez's heroics

Borja Gomez is a former La Liga star

The Spanish stopper has been phenomenal since his debut for the red and gold brigade. He has been rock solid in the defence, hardly giving any space for his opponents to penetrate through. The former La Liga star is practically untouchable in aerial balls, makes good use of his height to keep the attackers at bay.

His services during the previous ‘Kolkata Derby’ was invaluable to the team, the score could have easily changed if not Borja guarded the goal as he did during the match. “For me, it is very important that we got a victory, we got the three points. We did not concede a goal,” said Borja following the win. Borja was the main obstacle for the young colts on Friday evening at the Salt Lake Stadium

Sharing his views about the next fixture against East Bengal, he said, “For next match, I think that it will be a very good match. The people in India look at the match, it is an unbelievable match. Mohun Bagan is a strong team. My team is also strong, so no problem.”
