The game commenced with the Gaurs going down the attacking right from kick-off as Muhammed Nemil took the first shot of the game
Mohammedan SC was successful in avenging last year’s Durand Cup final defeat as they beat FC Goa 3-1 in a comeback win in the opening fixture of the Durand Cup 2022 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, on Tuesday.
Muhammed Nemil opened the scoring with a beautiful outside-the-box finish but three second-half goals from Pritam Singh, Faslu Rahman, and a stoppage-time goal from skipper Marcus Joseph were enough to seal the deal for the night.
The game commenced with the Gaurs going down the attacking right from kick-off as Muhammed Nemil took the first shot of the game from a long range but it failed to beat the keeper and was off target.
Both sides had a fair share of possession and maintained a constant attacking display as the game kept changing sides.
The I-League side kept their attacking momentum and found their third of the night through skipper Marcus Joseph who netted one late in stoppage time as the Gaurs were reeling away to their positions.
