Barasat: Unbeaten Mohun Bagan will look to avenge their Federation Cup defeat to Salgaocar when they clash in the I-League football tournament at the Vidyasagar Krirangan here on Friday.
The Derrick Pereira’s side bounced back from behind to knock out Mohun Bagan 4-1 from the Federation Cup earlier this season, while in the first leg I-League both teams played out a goalless stalemate with the Mariners raising a hue and cry about a disallowed goal.
With both Bengaluru FC and Royal Wahingdoh winning their respective games, the pressure to remain on top of the table is on Mohun Bagan.
Warning his boys against complacency, coach Sanjoy Sen said: “We cannot afford to drop our guard and are wary of Salgaocar, whom we are yet to beat this season.”
The two teams had also met in the Federation Cup where Salgaocar recovered brilliantly after an early goal, to knock out Mohun Bagan, with the match ending 4-1 as the green and maroon and brigade are yet to beat them. (PTI)
