Mohun Bagan beats BNR SC

KOLKATA: Mohun Bagan won its seventh consecutive match in the domestic fixture drubbing BNR Sports Club 4-1 in a premier division encounter of the Kolkata Football League here at its home ground on Monday.

Playing its first match under new coach Satyajit Chatterjee who replaced the Moroccan Karim Bencherifa, Mohun Bagan established a 3-1 in the first half with finding the goals through young Branco Vincent Cardozo (fourth minute) and seasoned Brazilian Jose Barreto, who scored twice (36th & 43rd) after John Babatunde briefly shone for BNR SC scoring the equaliser in 25th minute.

Mohun Bagan enhanced its lead in the second session with BNR defender Sukanto Banerjee scoring an own goal to make it 4-1 for the host in the 61st minute.
