Strike from Jiten Murmu was enough for the hosts to hold on to a victory.
Bengaluru FC B went down 1-0 to Mohammedan Sporting Club in a 2nd Division League clash at the Howrah Stadium in Kolkata, on Tuesday. Jiten Murmu (47’) scored the only goal of the game early in the second half to seal all points for the hosts, consigning Naushad Moosa’s Colts to their second defeat of the campaign. The loss sent Moosa’s men, who went down to Chennaiyin FC in the opener last month, to the bottom of the table after two rounds. Mohammedan, meanwhile, moved atop the standings after their second win and lead Group B with six points. In what was an end-to-end encounter, Mohammedan took the lead immediately after restart following a goalless first half in Howrah. Bengaluru defender Jagdeep Singh’s header on a cross inside the box fell to a dangerous area, allowing Mohammedan attacker John Uzodinma to capitalise. The Nigerian dribbled past two defenders, before setting up Murmu for a finish from close range in the 47th minute. The Blue Colts created half chances throughout the game, and came closes to equalizing just past the hour mark. Defender Mohammed Rafi, who consistently pumped in long throw-ins throughout the game, found his attempt from the right flicked into the box by striker Akashdeep Singh.

Bengaluru FC B now face Bhawanipore FC in Kolkata on February 14 in their third straight away game.Latest News
