Khalid Jamil is now 0/2 in Kolkata derbies.

However, while their first match-up was a close one that Bagan edged, they were very much outplayed here today.

He was up against it from the start and could not find anything to wrest the momentum in his side's favour. After the forced change involving Bazie and Al Amnah, Jamil made a second first-half change, taking off Prakash Sarkar for Surabuddin Mallick.

That really didn't change things much. In the second half, try as they might, they weren't able to trouble the Bagan defence much.

This defeat means East Bengal have now gone three games without a win and their title charge has just suffered a bit of a stutter as a result. Things are getting extremely tight at the top of the table in the I-League and East Bengal need to get back to winning ways quickly.
