The Kolkata Derby was not a pleasant one for the folks at the SC East Bengal camp, especially goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya. Goals from Roy Krishna, Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco were enough to seal the deal for ATK Mohun Bagan. They created many more chances but were unsuccessful in converting them.
SC East Bengal were deployed in 1-3-4-3, a formation the players did not fully understand to function well in. ATK Mohun Bagan started the game slow but took to pulling out the tricks that hammered the Bengal Brigade.
SC East Bengal will lock horns with Odisha FC in their upcoming fixture. This will be their first away outing in the ISL 2021-22. Head coach Jose Manuel Diaz addressed the media ahead of this ISL fixture.
Goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya suffered an injury in the build-up to the third goal in the Kolkata derby and was subbed off later. SC East Bengal clarified that they are yet to learn about the gravity of the injury. Hence, for the next game, Suvam Sen is expected to start under the bar.
