The match finished much later last night from the scheduled time as the lights had gone off and the entire team had very little time to take rest as they had to report at the airport around 2am at midnight. The players and the coaching staff decided to take full rest today after returning back to Kolkata in the early morning.
Mohun Bagan suffered their first defeat of the I-League season as they went down 2-1 to Churchill Brothers on Saturday evening at the Tilak Maidan, Vasco.
Today Coach Sanjoy Sen acknowledged at the airport, “Today or tomorrow we were going to lose in the league. We were punished for the way we defended today. If you defend like that, you don't deserve to win. We have to come back strongly. When we won the I-League, we lost three matches”.
The Bagan coach also added, "It's just the first defeat for us in the competition and we were unbeaten for 13 games. The boys will try their best in the upcoming games to turn things around."
East Bengal picked up three crucial points earlier in the day with two goals from Christopher Payne as they downed Shillong Lajong 2-1 in an away game.
“I am not interested on what East Bengal has done. We have to play there (in the North-Eastern region) and do well,” he mentioned.
