BHUBANESWAR 05-Apr-2018
Kolkata giants Kingfisher East Bengal came from behind to edge out Mumbai City FC 2-1 in the seventh pre-quarterfinal match of the Super Cup Football Tournament here at Kalinga Stadium here today. With this win East Bengal set up their quarterfinal match against Aizawl FC.
The first half did not see many goal-scoring chances being created but saw an end to end football and two brilliant goals, one from each side. Mumbai it was who struck first. In the 22nd minute, Eduardo inflicted a needless challenge to bring down Mumbai midfielder Sahil Tavora about 35 yards out from the East Bengal box. Cameroonian Achille Emana then engineered an outrageous late curl off his right-footer from the resultant free-kick, to leave the East Bengal keeper Ubaid stunned.
