In the previous I-League Kolkata Derby between the two sides, Dipanda Dicka's brace separated East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. The Cameroonian drew first blood for the Mariners at the 55th-second after heading in Akram Moghrabi's cross.

At the 35th minute, Dipanda unleashed an acrobatic volley after goalkeeper Baretto fumbled to collect the ball. Tears trickled down the eyes of Dipanda as he couldn't control his joyous emotion.

This season, he has already found the back of the net thrice, scoring one against Real Kashmir and twice against Indian Arrows. Dipanda Dicka will play centrally with Sony Norde and Pintu Mahata assisting him from the wings, both of whom are doing their job brilliantly.

Should he overcome the challenge of Borja Perez and Salam Ranjan Singh, he could slam the ball past the goalkeeper.
