The Gaurs are a team that likes to keep the ball and pass it from the back. They're a side that thrives on free-flowing football. However today, they were hardly given the opportunity to do so.
East Bengal approached this game with a different mentality and were intent on stifling their opponents from attempting to play their way out of their own half. Every single EB player was incessantly pressing Goa's players, especially through the first half.
When they didn't have the ball, striker, Dudu tracked back all the way to the centre circle, displaying his commitment to the cause. Gurwinder Singh was a thorn regularly halting play with both quality and cynical tackles. Goa were frustrated today and didn't like it one bit.
