Dicka, Henry and Gurjinder missed the opportunity from Abhishek's minus. Police defenders made crucial goal-line save to keep the scoreline unchanged.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Britto received a cross from Sourav. Britto made a great chest trap and finally made a glorious finish to make the scoreline 2-0 for Mohun Bagan.
Players of the Police squad became desperate to stop the Mariners from scoring more goals and hence, made back to back fouls. In today's match, five players of Police got to see yellow cards and one player saw a red card, which is the most number of fouls made by any team so far in this season of CFL.
In the second half of the game, Dicka again found the net in the 51st minute, as Police goalie Soumava failed to obstruct the header from the Cameroonian international, which came from the corner kick of mighty Mehtab. Meanwhile, Soumava got injured as he jumped to save Dicka's header and hence, Sanjib Mondal replaced Soumava for the rest of the match.
