    Never mind, I am an idiot. Pune needed to win by 1 goal only!

    Pune were without the main foreigners. Honestly when you look at Pune for the last few seasons it was really only the foreigners and Jeje that did something. Jeje was good here but Moga has not played yet and Douhou only returned today. Wali has only been training for a few weeks, as has Arata. Plus I dont think they brought there trialists with them (the Korean one was great). 

    Overall there defense is good but they cant find net which I am sure will get better once Arata, Jeje, Douhou, and a trialist plays and practices more with the team and Moga returns. 
  • Arata has barely practiced due to him getting Indian nationality. Douhou was not even with the team when Pune arrived in Delhi a few days ago, who knows when he arrived this weekend and how much practice he got. Chika was good, 1 goal conceded in 2 games. Pune have been good in defense. This is pre-season and as much as that is not an excuse it is true for at least 2 of these players.

    what is the relation between getting nationality and practice? to get nationality u need to do paper work and probably be reporting to some government office few times. Dont think that will block practice time of a prefessional footballer. But in any case lets not read too much into the results as we know how bad is delhi weather now

    Pune FC said in there reports earlier this month that Arata was not in. He reported in around 2 weeks ago and has been doing conditional work and played 2 pre-season friendlies before the Durand Cup. Also like we were talking about a few days ago, he is not as affective due to age so another factor as well.

    Did rafi scored in 1st minute??wow that would be a great thing to have watched live to see how they attacked to get such an early goal as for such a quick goal you need players to be well organised and to have good understanding between them

    Dodsal are just saying that they are here to stay......now i desperately want air india and ongc to go to lower division and get more into grass root development than having a unprofessionally run professional teams
  • I think that is an error on kolkatafootballs part because they mention another scorer which would mean 7 goals.

  • Full Time
    FT-Pailan Arrows 1-1 Air India
    Souvik Chakraborty(16’)
    Avinabo Bag(19’)

    Arrows out of Durand Cup


    btw Air India fielded a All India line up, with lots of young players, looks like another over achieving season from them coming up
