Stopper Dalraj Singh will be under the scanner after the disastrous defeat against Churchill Brothers FC. After a clinical display in the previous match against Real Kashmir FC and was given the burden to guard Bagan’s goal once goal but he let the coach down with numerous errors throughout the entire 90 minutes. It was a night to forget for the footballer who had a magical spell with Peerless SC in the 2018 Calcutta Football League.

Failing to clear the ball in the first attempt, he somehow managed to head is back only to see Ceesay lot in home past a hopeless Shilton Paul with the gloves. In the second half, it was again a massacre by the tall defender which led to a scrappy goal. Colliding with Willis Plaza, the ball brushed his body to pave its way into the net and double the lead for the visitors.

The third goal was a pretty well-organised strike from the away team with Israil Gurung’s cross sailing towards Willis Plaza who made no mistake to complete his brace. It was Dalraj who failed to mark the man much to the disappointment of the passionate supporters present at the Salt Lake stadium on a pleasant Sunday evening.
