East Bengal’s poor run of form in their debut season in the Indian Super League (ISL) continued as they went down 0-2 against NorthEast United on Saturday and remained bottom of the league table.
The Red and Golds' performance against the Highlanders was reminiscent of the Kolkata derby where also East Bengal played better only to be beaten by a more efficient team.
The Kolkata giants had more possession of the ball, played more passes and created more chances than the Highlanders, but in football, goals matter and that is what NorthEast did.
