Mohun Bagan started off their IFA shield campaign on a losing note, going down 0-1 against Churchill Bros. of Goa in the Salt Lake Stadium. The match was not the most high intensity match with neither of the team having the lion's share of action, though Churchill's Mboyo created panic in the Bagan defense on more occasions than not. On the other hand, the Ba-Bha combination upfront for Bagan could create much chances. The Bagan defense did not look the brightest but keeper Sangram was up to the task till the 33rd minute when a deflected header from Manju found its way into the goal. Within a few minutes again, Sangram committed a foul inside the box awarding Churchill a penalty but came up with a superb save. Bagan kept on the pressure but the impotent striking force could not find a goal. Both Barreto and Bhiachung missed out on easy chances to score.
