I-League: Mohun Bagan to take on Mumbai FC today

TIL Desk Sports/ Stung by their first reversal of the campaign, former champions Mohun Bagan will look to get their defence in order and pull off a win against Mumbai FC in their I-League clash at the Rabindra Sarovar Stadium later today.

A revamped Churchill Brothers under new coach Derrick Pereira put it across the mariners in a 2-1 verdict in the last fixture and Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen, on the eve of the game, minced no words in saying that his troops have to re-organise and win what is a must-win tie to keep the pressure on table toppers Kingfisher East Bengal.

“We conceded child-like goals in the last game. We have to pay for our mistakes if we keep leaking such poor goals. This is a match where we need to turn around,” Sen told reporters on the eve of the tie.

For Bagan, Darryl Duffy is out with a groin injury. “I have seen Mumbai’s style and they might play for a point tomorrow. Our lack of communication in the backline is a cause for worry. We need to rectify that. I have pointed it out categorically to my players,” Sen added.
