Green-Maroon under pressure in ISL clash

Due to illness, he could not come to the press conference the day before. Antonio Lopez Habas was not even in the dugout that day. Assistant coach Manuel Castellana took charge. But the lack of planning was evident in the Mohun Bagan game. They wasted a lot of chances in the whole match. It has given the opponent an opportunity to attack again and again. Although it was attacked occasionally, it could not be maintained. The two mistakes that Vishal made at the end, no one makes in school level football.

There was speculation about Kawko’s game in this day’s match of Mohun Bagan. Castellana kept him in the first eleven. Mohun Bagan started attacking from the start. An opportunity presented itself to Armando Sadiku. However, Mohun Bagan survived to concede a goal shortly after, courtesy of Deepak Tangri. Habas replaced the three-man defense with one more man. However, Chennaiyin began to dominate the game gradually. In the 16th minute, Murray headed narrowly wide of Rafael Crivellaro’s free-kick….
Moments later Liston Colaso ​​shot on goal. Chennai goalkeeper Devjit Majumdar saved it. After that Sadiku also got a chance. The attack on Mohun Bagan was increasing. Kawko took advantage of the opportunity. Liston made a pass to Cauco past Vinci Barreto. The Finnish footballer scored from that ball.                                    Mohun Bagan continued to attack after this. Sometimes Liston, sometimes Kawko stepped up and kept Chennaiyin’s defense busy. Kawko had another chance before the break. Sadiq’s cross from the left was floated to Kawko. Devjit easily saved Mara Kawko’s shot from outside the box.

At the beginning of the second half, there were fears that Shubashis Bose might get injured. He fell to the ground in a collision with Barreto. But with the help of the physio, he stood up after a while. In the second half, both teams were attacking evenly. A shot from Dimitri Petratos was somehow saved by Devjit. The match came more under Mohun Bagan’s control.

But Mohun Bagan has to pay the price for wasted opportunities in the attack. Chennai equalized in the 72nd minute. Murray attacked alone from the right. Tangri who was in front easily passed and took a low shot at the goal. Vishal Kayeth could not save it. Chennaiyin took the lead in the 80th minute after stopping Yuva Bharati Kayeth is to blame in this case. He  suddenly left the goal to save the corner and came forward a little. There was no connection with the ball. On seeing Vishal coming forward, Ryan Edwards, a long-bodied footballer from Chennai, stepped forward and headed the ball into the net with effortless skill....

Mohun Bagan gets a penalty at the time of connection. Ankit Mukherjee pulled Sadiku’s neck with his hand. The referee awarded a penalty. However, the decision is controversial. The commentators also said that Sadiqur had no such clash with Ankit. After Petratos’ goal from that penalty, Mohun Bagan fans thought they were guaranteed a point.There was no idea that the match would turn around at the last minute. Chennaiyin came up with every attack. Only he can tell why Vishal came so far. The floating ball fell to Irfan’s feet. There is no one in front of him. Anwar Ali is far away. Irfan went straight with the ball and pushed it into the empty goal.
