A month of pre-season, including 10 days of rigorous training sessions in Goa, bore fruit for Bagan against Md. Sporting on Friday...
It has been a while since Mohun Bagan played so effortlessly in their domestic season opener. In 2014 and 2015, when they clashed against Mohammedan Sporting in their inaugural game of the season in the Calcutta Football League (CFL), they were restricted to a point on each occassion.
Even in the previous season under Sankar Lal Chakraborty, they had to toil hard to register a 1-0 win against Pathachakra, who ultimately got relegated from the CFL Premier Division at the end of the competition.
