KOLKATA: When the mercury in Kallolini Tillottama is close to 10 degrees, he is exactly the opposite in Yuva Bharati. In a word, it is high voltage, tension and drama.
However, Mohun Bagan played a lot of scattered football today. In the first half of the match, Mohun Bagan striker Jimmy scored a 1-0 goal due to a small mistake by the Kerala goalkeeper. However, if it were not for the two perfect saves in the first 10 minutes, the result of the game would have been different, the impeccable save was huge.
After the break, the attack from the midfield of the Bagan was a bit of a mess. The Kerala footballers played incredibly spectacular football today. Kerala are in the pocket of the game, they will end the match with a 2-1 lead, the ultra defense game is the thorn in the path. Mohun Bagan coach Jason Cummins and Ashiq Kurunyan made the last pair changes. The left flank attack was repeated 86 minutes into the game, the result was 2-2. The game was 5 minutes into extra time, Mohun Bagan spectators were calling their favorite gods with folded hands, praying, just then Mohun Bagan won the corner. On the return ball, stopper Rodriguez shot long range from 32 yards, and the sound of the ball was a goal. The scoreline is 3-2!
Mohun Bagan has retained the first place with 26 points in 11 matches. In the last 8 matches, 7 wins and 1 draw, 17-3.. An amazing result..
The next match is against Goa on December 20. However, coach Molina will have to be very careful with the midfield. It goes without saying that Stuart, the main weapon in the midfield, will definitely be in the first eleven. Today, after playing only 10 minutes, Ashiq Kurunyan was the best of the match. The duel of the brains of the two teams' coaches, Molina and Mikail, will be remembered by football fans for a long time.
After the game, the two coaches came towards each other, encouraged and congratulated. Molina, the bettor of today's match, said that the more the league progresses, the more the brains are being scattered.
When he came to the press meet, he said very calmly that the boys played the worst today, but they will have to correct their mistakes and win in the next match.
However, the 3 points were very important, the boys did it, and that's why he is happy.
