Bagan finish 4th in I league!

The inaugural ONGC I League came to an end on the 23rd of February with all the teams playing their respective last matches, Mohun Bagan went to Mumbai to play their match against Mahindra.

The match was a a pretty ordinary performance put up by the Mumbai devils and the Kolkata Mariners both happy to split a point between them. The match was played mainly in the midfield with few scoring chances coming their way. However the Bagan defense seemed a bit shaky but still the Mahindra strikers could not find a whole in it and neither could Bhaichung and Barreto find one in the Mahindra defense.

The match ended goalless and Bagan finished 4th on the I league table with Mahindra in 5th.
