East Bengal started the Calcutta League with seven goals against the Tollygunge Pioneers. Another main Mohammedan of Calcutta Maidan also gave Uadi six goals in the first match. Compared to that, the beginning of Mohun Bagan is a rough one. The ISL champion could not bring home three points in the first match, far from winning by a big margin. Shivajit Singh scored in the 10th minute of the match for Mohun Bagan at the Barrackpore Stadium.However, the green-maroon camp could not keep this advantage for long. Jiten Murmu equalized for Bhavanipur after 17 minutes. Two goals were scored in the first half of the match. Both sides failed to score in the second half.
Mohun Bagan’s game showed a lack of planning. The lack of preparation has also been seen. In contrast, the footballers of Bhabanipur try to play well. The green-maroon footballers could not even take control of the midfield.
Bhavanipur’s Saiful Rahman was injured in the clash at the end of the first half. CPR should be given in the field. He was taken by ambulance to a local private hospital without taking any risks. He is said to be fine.
