2-2

 

Bagan huffed and puffed in the second half but they missed the cutting edge of Darryl Duffy upfront. Jeje had a game to forget as Norde carried the team's attack on his shoulders. Mumbai's tactics were clear they wanted to hold what they had. In the end they couldn't quite manage a win. Its two points dropped for Bagan while Mumbai are now 11 games without a win although they will take a lot from this performance. Its good evening from Kolkata.
