FT Mohammedan Sporting 0-0 Peerless. Good show by Peerless in the tournament, they have managed to hold both Mohun Bagan and Mohammedan this season. However, seems there was some interruption by the crowd which held up play for about 3 minutes...doesn't bode well for the CFL
Maidan always had crowd issues and Kolkata Police has proved over the decades they are bloody useless in handling situations like this. Live with it and stop moaning.
@munna21977 I think you mean CFL/IFA Shield/I-League Derbies ? Because many Derbies of Federation Cup, Durand Cup, Rovers Cup & other out of Kolkata Tournaments were played at different places. But I don't remeber any Venue other than what you mentioned in the last 50 years even (for CFL, IFA Shield & I-League) where Derby was staged.
Maidan has hosted derbies in 70s and even one in 80s as far as I remember, at MB ground. KP chickened out this time, derby should have been at MB ground this time under floodlights. Just deploy enough cops in the galleries and outside the venue with proper crowd management instructions.
