Mariners fans left the Stadium disappointed to lose points at such an important stage as the championship stage. Although they went on the field to win, Mohun Bagan could not break the desired resistance from their opponents throughout the match.

Every match in the championship phase is of great importance. Therefore, Mohun Bagan’s goal before taking the field against United Sports was clear – to win and strengthen their position in the points table. But as the match progressed, the Mariners’ plan became more and more difficult.
Despite attacking throughout the match, Mohun Bagan was unable to score a goal. As time went on, the Mariners fans became increasingly worried. Finally, Sandeep Malik ended the wait in the 90th minute.
The ball came into the box from Nassiri and Soshvan’s corner. Soshavan, who had performed brilliantly in the match, could not control the ball properly. The ball slipped out of his hands and went forward. Sandeep did not waste that opportunity. He sent the ball into the net with an easy finish from very close range. It seemed that the door of Mohun Bagan’s destiny opened in the very last moment of the match.
But the story wasn’t over yet. United Sports attacked for the last time. The Mariners’ defense was under pressure. And from that attack came the most dramatic moment of the match.
After several deflections, the ball reached Sumay. Finally, he headed the ball into the net. It seemed that the goalkeeper also had a chance to stop the ball. But in the end, he defeated him and the ball went into the net. The scoreline became 1-1 . Mohun Bagan, who were dreaming of three points a few minutes ago, finally had to leave the field with one point.
