Sony Norde is one man who is always there to save Mohun Bagan and also in today's match, he continued to showcase his class, why he is the 'nightmare' for the opponent. A great solo run and a goal - the Mariners got their much-awaited victorious goal in the 78th minute.

Earlier in the second half, Sony Norde gifted Aser Dipanda Dicka with a great through pass but Dicka failed to utilize that. A brilliant block by NEROCA keeper denied Dicka to make the scoreline 1-0 for the Mariners.

A few minutes later, after getting the ball from Darren Caldeira, Norde made some space for himself and fired the ball from just outside NEROCA box which was not possible to be denied by Lalit Thapa. The late goal from the 'Haitian Magician' ensured crucial three points for Mohun Bagan at home against NEROCA FC.
