However, Shyamnagar’s team had more power in the match. They created numerous scoring opportunities but could not make use of them. United had to suffer the consequences Tarak Hembrom, Aloysius was repeatedly missing the ball in front of goal. Fardeen Ali Mollah, Sumit Rathi looked tired after playing consecutive matches. There were a few misunderstandings in the defense as well. However, the boys of United Sports could not take advantage of it. Even though they took 24 shots in the whole match, not a single one hit the net In some cases, it was seen that they missed the easy chance, while on the other hand, Mohun Bagan got the desired goal after getting two chances.

However, the young footballers from both teams played well. And the two artisans of that original work are Nongdomba Naorem and Suhail Bhatt. After 28 minutes of the match, Naurem scored in his familiar style Coming in from the right, he made an inside cut to cover two footballers, and he rattled the net with a powerful shot. He also scored the same goal in the match against Talliganj in this year’s Kolkata League. There were no more goals in the first half though
