The goal was smartly netted by skillful Bagan medio James Singh in the early first half.
With this victory Bagan maintained the top position in the league table with 33 points, two points ahead of their nearest rival Sporting Clube de Goa.
The green and maroon also set a new record of winning ten matches on the trot. Mohammedan Sporting remained at the last but one position with 13 points.
The match between any two of the three Kolkata giants is always a very keen affair irrespective of their position in the league table. Tonight’s tie also proved so as both the teams forced a number of raids on the rival forts alternately.
The Bagan defenders, specially Dipak Mondal and their medio Rakesh Mashi played well to foil quite a few Mohammedan moves while their medio Ishfaq Ahmed fed their strikers duo Baichung and Barreto with fine passes.
