#1 Pune beat both Kolkata giants in preseason
The Stallions could not have asked for a better start heading into the 2017 season. As part of their preparatory camp, FC Pune City locked horns with both the Kolkata giants, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.
They emerged winners in both those encounters and were impressive up front. Pune beat East Bengal 2-1. If that result didn't send a message, their match against Mohun Bagan definitely did.
The Stallions beat Bagan in comprehensive fashion 4-1 and sent a stern message to their rivals. Twitter went into a mini-meltdown upon hearing the result. But looking back, it's not surprising. Pune have a solid squad capable of beating anyone.
