Wolfe penalty denies Mohun Bagan win in Goa
Dawda Ceesay ( 10) of Churchill Brothers prepares to shoot against Mohun Bagan during an I- League match at the Tilak Maidan in Goa on Saturday.
Goa, Feb. 9: Churchill Brothers FC salvaged a point against visiting Mohun Bagan at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco Da Gama, Goa, on Saturday, as they eked out a 1- 1 draw with the help of a late Anthony Wolfe penalty which cancelled out a 39th minute strike by Dipanda Dicka.
With this result Churchill remain in third position on the table, with 30 points from 17 games, while Mohun Bagan too remained in sixth position, having played a game less for their 23 points.
Both coaches, Petra Gigiu of Churchill and Khalid Jamil of Bagan, wrang in the changes at the start of the game, making three and four respectively, but still could not manage three points in three successive games.
The game could not reach the heights as expected and the first half saw Mohun Bagan take a lead into the break with the help of an opportunistic Dicka strike, which was his seventh in this year’s campaign.
