 2-1 

 

 

While Shivajians was the dominant side in the first half, Mohun Bagan came back with everything at their disposal in the second half. However, the game turned out to be rather physical than a tactical one. The home team kept shelling the opposition bars while the Reds went deep down to defend. However, Bagan was awarded a penalty in the dying minutes of the game which was converted into a goal by skipper Katsumi Yusa. Logging out from Kolkata, good night.
