Churchill Brothers 2-2 Mohun Bagan (2011 group stage)
This turned out to be Steve Darby’s last competitive game as Mohun Bagan coach
Mohun Bagan were already eliminated from the tournament following surprise defeats against Royal Wahingdoh and Shillong Lajong. It was the worst possible start to the tenure of English coach Steve Darby but he still put out his best eleven in this game to both salvage some pride and perhaps stop Churchill Brothers from progressing. It was a must win for the Goan side as they had beaten Shillong Lajong but lost to Royal Wahingdoh. Although the match was played in Pune, the Kolkata side enjoyed a lot of support but they went behind midway through the first half when Henri Antchouet converted a penalty. With an attack comprising Odafa Okolie, Jose Barreto and Sunil Chhetri, Mohun Bagan were looking dangerous going forward but not taking their chances. However Barreto finally restored parity as he headed home Jewel Raja’s corner.
That goal gave the Mariners momentum and they took the lead for the first time in the tournament thanks to a volley from Sunil. Churchill Brothers needed two goals without reply in the second half to stand any chance of reaching the semis and the first of those arrived just 11 minutes after the restart as Gabon striker Antchouet bagged his second. The Red Machines went forward in numbers to find the all-important winner and that created gaps for Mohun Bagan to exploit on the counter attacks. It became an open contest but the finishing of both sides was poor while each keeper also produced important saves. In the end it finished all square as Churchill Brothers bowed out of the tournament while it turned out to be Darby’s last competitive game as Mohun Bagan coach.
