HOME SOIL'S LADS EARNED A VICTORY IN KOLKATA LEAGUE'S DERBY

MARINERS CAN NOW IMAGINE A VICTORY WITH A BIG MARGIN, EVEN WITHOUT ODAFA'S CONTRIBUTION. IT  HAPPENED IN KOLKATA LEAGUE  DERBY VS MOHAMMEDAN SPORTING . THOUGH THE CITY RIVALS HAD A WEAK TEAM AND A NEW COACH, BUT EXCUSES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE MARGIN . SABEETH SCORED A BRACE & AIBOR ADDED A TOPPING TO THE SCORE-SHEET. THAT KARIM BENCHARIFA, THE BAGAN COACH TOOK THIS MATCH ON A VERY SERIOUS NOTE  WAS SEEN  BY HIS CHOICE OF FORMATION AND FIRST 11 SELECTION. HE PLAYED A  FOREIGNER'S IN EVERY TACTICAL POSITION. THEIR CITY RIVALS, MOHAMEDDAN STARTED THE MATCH IN A VERY ATTACKING WAY , AND WITHOUT EXPECTATION. THEY STARTED UNBELIEVABLY WELL AND THAT LASTED TILL 20 MINUTES. THEN CITY GIANTS STARTED TAKING THE HOLD OF THE MATCH. THE MARINERS HAMMERED THE OPPONENTS  THROUGHOUT THE MATCH . FROM THIS WIN HOPE OUR TEAM WILL DEFINITELY GET SOME BOOST IN CONFIDENCE AND SELF BELIEF FOR THE FORTHCOMING IFA SHIELD.
