Mohun Bagan Shared points with Air India following a 2 all draw today in a vital encounter of 21st round of I-league

After Dempo SC the another powerful contender of this year I-League Championship Mohun Bagan Shared points with Air India following a 2 all draw today in a vital encounter of 21^st round of I-league at Chattrapati Shivaji Stadium in Baliyari, Pune, the Kolkata giant not only shared the points they almost left out from the championship battle. It could well be a bitter sleepless night for all the Mohun Bagan supporters with full of tears on their eyes . Everybody was targeting heavily after the poor performance of Federation Cup & CFL this season, even regarding the I-League Mohun Bagan denied to play the prestigious IFA Shield this year but the dreams of Green & Maroon supporters are flooded & drowned in the river Mandovi in Goa today. It could well be said from now that Kolkata is going to miss the I-League trophy this year too if Dempo SC doesn’t make a big mess in their remaining matches then Goa is going to hold the crown this year too.With the help of 2 all draw in their away match Mohun Bagan secured the second position of the I-League table with 38 points in 21 matches just behind Dempo SC 46 points in 21 matches, both the teams have five matches left ahead, while East Bengal also have 38 points in 21st matches but regarding their first leg defeat they are in the 3^rd position.

After a long gap of one & half month Mohun Bagan started their campaign today against the homeside Air India, known for their giant killing ability. From the very beginning the Green & Maroon brigade never looked in a good rhythm rather the hosts were very much composed & committed from the beginning. Although against the run of play Manish Maithani scored the first goal for the Mariners from a long ranger just outside the box in the just 20^th minute of the game, just after the minute Mandeep Singh equalized for the hosts taking the advantage of poor defending quality of the visitors. Mandeep Singh scored once again & gave lead to the hosts by scoring form a rebound at the 38^th minute of the game, but Odafa Okoli once again rescued the Mariners by scoring the equalizer in the 59^th minute of the game. In between both the teams missed lots of opportunities, Oda made the wood work once again, merely missed the goal.
