132nd Durand Cup: Bangladesh Army hold East Bengal

KOLKATA: Playing their second match against a Kolkata giant, the Bangladesh Army Football Team (BAFT) fought back from a two-goal deficit to hold 10-man East Bengal 2-2 in a Group A match in the 132nd Durand Cup at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) here on Sunday.

In the second game of the first Sunday of the tournament, the Kolkata side went 2-0 up in the first half through goals from Saul Crespo and Siviero. But Shariar Emon pulled one back and then substitute Meraj Pradhan kept the Bangladesh Army team, who lost their first match to Mohun Bagan, in contention after Nishu Kumar had received marching orders for an off-the-ball challenge in the 67th minute.
