Kalyani, March 15 : Mohammedan SC handed Churchill Brothers their second straight defeat of the season as the Black Panthers, in a scintillating performance, defeated the Red Machines 4-1 at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium on Monday to throw the I-League title race wide open.
Tiddim Road Athletic Union (TRAU) Football Club s win earlier on Monday put the onus on Churchill to perform but the Red Machines failed to pick up any points, which sees them slip to second place behind TRAU on the table on goal difference, with the two sides set to square off in the next round.
The
Red Machines began their pre-season in Goa from the second week of November and are set to play their season opener on January 10th against Indian Arrows, a team Varela classified as one of the competitive sides he has faced.
Having arrived Kolkata just a few days ago to undergo quarantine, he said, I think it s not the best option to be ready in one week. It could have been better to be in Kolkata earlier but the conditions are the same for all teams. We cannot make excuses. We have to be ready and show our mentality to play in these conditions.
