Mohun Bagan look to overturn 1st-leg result against Churchill

Margao: In a way, it could be termed as a grudge match for table-toppers Mohun Bagan as they take on Churchill Brothers at the Fatorda Stadium here on Saturday. The visitors from Kolkata have been on a roll this I-League season, notching up nine wins from 12 games to comfortably lead the points table with 29 points, eight points clear of second-placed Punjab. However, their only loss came at the hands of their Saturday rivals, a familiar foe, the Red Machines who outgunned the Green and Maroons in a high-scoring encounter back in December in the early stages of the league at the Kalyani Stadium.

The visiting gaffer Kibu Vicuna understandably tried to play down the talk of any unfinished business ahead of the game saying, "It is only a football match. We will face the game with the same desire as other games. We know that Churchill are a good team with very good players and playing in their stadium is going to be a tough challenge for us." IANS
