Congrats to East Bengal. Beating one of the most decorated Malaysian football clubs is a great achievement. Great base for them to build on. Lalrindika's goal was fantastic.
Overall, this was a good Match Day 1 for Indian football. Yes, Churchill Brothers suffered a 3-0 lose but it was to the Hong Kong champions, a team that is filled with domestic internationals and former 2nd/3rd tier foreigners (Zesh being a former Premier League player). It was a respectable loss.
Overall now, for Churchill Brothers, they need to focus now on the remaining fixtures. The other two teams are not as good as Kitchee so they can do it. Hopefully they can play a full squad by then. East Bengal... well, never say never. 3 points on Day 1 against arguably the hardest side in their group. They should qualify now, no questions asked.

no dude he is actually right,international matches are supposed to be given more importance
Sorry, I have to side with @Joyptan here. Its a culture thing. The bulk of the fans are just casual. They dont care as much for the AFC Cup as much as the die hards but when it comes to the Derby, it is more than a game. Its basically bragging rights for all of Kolkata.

To be honest, it does not look to bad. I dont know what the complaints are about.
What abt ball possession
SHB DA NANG of Vietnam beat AYEYAWADY UNITED of Mayanmar 2 - 1 in a Group G match today.
