Solitary goal saves Bagan from blushes!

Bagan today in their 1st match this season which happened to be a practice match before they begin the CFL this season, against Purulia XI ended with a solitary goal from Bagan to save them from a disappointing goalless draw.

Ishfaq Ahmed, the striker who signed in from Dempo this year, scored the only goal within 5mins from the kick off and through out the rest of the match not many chances were created by either of the teams. Non of the Premier division players were fielded for Bagan, instead a young and unexperienced Bagan side played out a hard fought match against the Purulia XI. It is however reported that the Bagan team bus met with an accident while on their way to the ground, and as a result reached the ground 2hours late than the schedule time. The bus driver was the only person injured while others went unscathed.
