I-League 2018-19: East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan – Hits and Flops of the match

#2 Flop: Dipanda Dicka (Mohun Bagan)

Dicka

scored a goal but failed to leave much impact

Earlier this year in this same fixture, Cameroonian striker Dipanda Dicka stole the limelight with his brace in the absence of a certain Sony Norde. So when Mohun Bagan coach said yesterday that Norde was ruled out the match, all hopes were on Dicka.

However, it was not an ideal day for the Cameroonian. Though he scored a goal, his entire performance was not at all satisfactory. He failed to leave an impact on the match and was lost in the melee of East Bengal defence.

Dicka has already made a name for himself for scoring goals at important moments. But on Sunday, he was tightly marked by East Bengal defenders, particularly Borja Gomez. Dicka was not allowed much space inside the box to make a move.

Also, Dicka was at fault of missing one or two odd chances that came to him. One of them was a header in the second half which he hit on the side net despite getting a perfect angle to score.
