Mohun Bagan hold on to keep NEROCA at bay
NEROCA FC began the second half with renewed fervour after going down in the match despite taking the lead twice through Subhash Singh and Felix Chidi.
Mohun Bagan played a very calm and composed game as they controlled the pace of the match from their midfield. Kinowaki and Watson were crucial as they moved the ball around well and broke up a lot of attacks. Dipanda Dicka was always an option in the attack for the visitors. The defenders did well to keep the threat of Subhash and Chidi in check as they took a lot of shots on the goal.
The win for Mohun Bagan puts NEROCA in a tight spot as they have just one game to play in the league with Minerva Punjab having played three fewer matches in the season. Mohun Bagan have a mathematical chance of winning the title but it will depend on the top three losing all their games.
