East Bengal went down 0-2 against Police AC in their Calcutta Football League match at Barrackpore‘s Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay Stadium on Sunday.
Amil Naim opened the scoring for Police after successfully converting a spot kick in the 11th minute, and Mrinmoy Mohapatra doubled the lead in the 75th minute.
The Red and Gold are fourth in the table with 11 points from seven outings.
Before this loss, East Bengal had notched successive wins, beating BSS Sporting 6-0 and arch-rival Mohun Bagan Super Giant 3-2 in the Kolkata Derby.
Yes, they have beaten both MB and EB this season and currently occupy the top spot, though they have played two and one match more than Suruchi Sangha and Pathachakra FC respectively.
Talking on giant killers, I am reminded of Aryan FC who were once considered to be the giant killers in the Maidan. Coached by the wily Raghu Nandy, they used to pose huge problems to the Big Three...remember the match in 2012 when they beat EB 4-1. The irate fans had spit on coach Trevor Morgan and gheraoed the players for around half an hour.
East Bengal notched up another win in the Calcutta Football League after beating Railways3-0 at the Naihati Bankimanjali Stadium on Tuesday.
Sayan Banerjee netted a first-half brace to hand the Red and Gold Brigade a comprehensive 2-0 lead at the break before Naseeb Rahman made it three in the additional time of the second essay.
EBFC now sits atop Group A with 17 points from nine matches, and the top teams from each group will make the super six.
In other Group A matches of the day, BSS Sportoing defeated Patha Chakra 2-0, and Suruchi Sangha won against Police AC.
In Group B, Diamond Harbour FC notched up a dominant 3-0 victory over Calcutta Police to climb up to second position.
Mohun Bagan club has decided to forfeit their Kolkata Football League (CFL) fixture against Messrs, scheduled for Wednesday, at the Bankimanjali Stadium in Naihati. The club has informed the Indian Football Association (IFA) that they will not field a team due to their ongoing participation in the Durand Cup.
In a letter sent to the IFA, on Monday, the Mohun Bagan management cited concerns over players’ workload and injury risks, with 8-9 players from their Durand Cup squad also registered for the CFL. With the crucial Durand Cup quarterfinal against arch-rivals East Bengal scheduled for Sunday, August 17, at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan, the club wants to avoid any unnecessary strain on key players.
General Secretary Srinjoy Bose stated, “We have sent a letter to the IFA requesting that our CFL fixtures be scheduled after the Durand Cup. We are trying to protect our players from being overburdened.”
However, the IFA has refused to accommodate the request, insisting that they are not in a position to alter the CFL schedule. As a result, Mohun Bagan’s non-appearance could lead to a walkover in favour of Messrs.
