East Bengal vs Mohammedan Sporting, Live Score and Commentary, CFL 2017

That's it from us today. Thanks for joining us.

We will be back again with more enthralling action from the CFL in the days to come.

This might just go down to the wire with the Kolkata derby set for the 24th of September.

So after seven games each, both Mohun Bagan and East Bengal have 19 points each.

This was as enthralling as it gets.

It looked ominous for MDS to begin with as Al Amna scored with EB's first attack. But MDS fought back well.

Murmu with a great game alongside Dicka and Ogba.

But Plaza, who had another anonymous game till then came up trumps when it mattered with the equaliser.

This means that East Bengal drop their first points of the CFL season ahead of the derby.

Finally, the game ends!

After 10 minutes of added time and justified so.

90+9' - Tirthankar is fouled and that means another man in black and white rolling on the ground.

90+8' - Satyam Sharma with the ball. Deep and that is played back in by Dicka.

But EB clear.

90+7' - Jiten Murmu has had a brilliant game.

Great dribble to get past Chullova and then he is brought down by the left back.

90+2' - Long ball from Al Amna looking for Gabriel.

But Shankar comes out in time and gets the ball at its highest point.

90+6' - Shankar Roy down again.

90+5' - Ball from the right from Surabuddin.

To the back post. But the ref's whistle goes off for a foul on the defender.

90+4' - A long ball from the back sees the sphere go to Shankar Roy's arms.

90+3' - Finally the game is underway.

A failed attack results in a goal kick for East Bengal.

A break on the pitch again as the players are taking in some fluids again.

Some scuffle on the sideline now as the Mohammedan camp was not happy with the tackle.

89' - Not a great free kick and MDS clear.

And this time Ogba on the end of a bad tackle. And it is Mitchell who is the culprit over here.

88' - Foul by Kalu Ogba on Rafique.

87' - EQUALISER!!

Willis Plaza with the goal. Great one-touch ball from Lobo found Plaza. And what a hit!

Shankar Roy was beaten just from the pace of the shot.

86' - More problems with dehydration on the ground as Mitchell looks down for the count.

85' - Poor corner from Lobo. Has no height or pace. Easily cleared.

84' - Surabbudin with a great run down the right. But his cross is deflected out for a corner.

83' - NEARLY!

Mohammedan could have sealed that. Satyam Sharma with a timely interception. He was through on goal and had only Barreto in front of him.

But he hits it wide of the mark. Could have taken a few more touches there.

82' - Gabriel with the corner. Chullova with a great flick on but off target.

81' - Ball from the right this time. To the back post and that is headed back into a dangerous area. But MDS clear it for a corner.

80' - Al Amna switches play from the left to the right.

But EB get a throw in the end.

79' - Surabuddin with the shot!

But that is way off the mark.

78' - Al Amna with a great run down the edge of the right side of the box. Gets the ball into a dangerous area. But Shankar Roy quickly on to it.

77' - MDS down the right. And Faiaz with a fizzing cross into the middle. But Arnab Mondal is there with a vital touch.

75' - Mawia, the man who hit the post twice comes off for Surabuddin Mallick.

74' - Gabriel Fernandes with a great run down the right. He is, however, barged off the ball. But no penalty was given as it was a legal body check according to the referee.

72' - SAVE! BARRETO!

The clearance from the corner leads to Faiaz running at the EB defence with pace. He gets past his man and then cracks a great shot on goal. Barreto, however, low down to his right.

Parries it away.

71' - Corner from the right for EB. But that was well cleared.

69' - Shankar Roy down again with cramps.

68' - Chullova with a great ball from the left. Shankar Roy came out but got nothing over there. But no EB player there as well.

67' - GOAAAAAL!!

Dickaaaaaa with the goal. And Mohammedan lead now.

Murmu with a great run down the right and then his low ball square into the box is greeted with the run of Dipanda Dicka.

66' - Not a great ball and MDS clear before Plaza commits a foul.

65' - Free kick to EB.

And Kamran can count himself lucky. Already on a yellow and he brought Al Amna down there. The referee has a last warning for him

64' - SHOT!

Plaza is found in space by Al Amna who takes the shot. But that is just wide.

63' - EB clear from the corner. But come out to Kalu Ogba. He fakes a shot and gets past the backline. He then crosses it to Faiaz at the back post. But a tad too overhit.

61' - Cleared off the line.

Mohammedan nearly had their second. Shot from Tirthankar came off Chullova and had looped over Barreto. But thankfully, Mitchell is there to head it away.

60' - Great delivery from the corner but EB scramble that clear.

59' - Joby Justin comes off as Gabriel Fernandes is sent out.

58' - Murmu with a great run down the left. But he is met with a great tackle from Arnab.

A corner is the result.

57' - Joby Justin down the right and he gets a ball in. But that is cleared at the near post.

55' - OFF THE POST!

Third time East Bengal have hit the post. Willis Plaza gets past Gharami and then slots the ball past Shankar Roy. But again, the ball comes out after hitting the post.

52' - East Bengal with a corner from the left. That is cleared and Murmu tries to run with the ball. But he is impeded by Samad Ali who is shown the yellow.

51' - SHOT!

MDS again on the charge. Dowary with a shot from the left but Barreto gets down to the ball well.

50' - MDS look to get down the right but Tirthankar's pass is misplaced.

The second half is underway.
