Newly-promoted Sporting beats Ever-Ready Association

KOLKATA: Newly promoted NFL side, Mohammedan Sporting had the better of Ever-Ready Association by a brace of goals in the Premier division of the Calcutta Football League at the Salt Lake Stadium here on Sunday.

In a rain affected pitch where playing constructive football was difficult, Suleh Musa produced the first goal with a 25-yard volley in the second minute of the game. Midway through the first half Abdul Qadir scored the insurance goal with a firm right-footer.

Down 0-2, Ever-Ready galvanised into action in the later half and harassed the rival defence with repeated sorties but failed to strike effectively.

The win enabled Mohammedan Sporting to end with 13 points from 10 matches while Ever-Ready, which lost to East Bengal in the previous encounter, remained on 12 from 10 games. — Special Correspondent
