SC
East
Bengal,
who
will
play
their
fifth
straight
game
at
the
Tilak
Maidan
Stadium,
their
‘home’ this
season
too,
eked
out
a
point
against
Chennaiyin
FC
in
their
last
outing.

The
red
and
gold
outfit
showed
grit
in
a
0-0
draw,
with
the
likes
of
Hira
Mondal,
Md
Rafique,
Suvam
Sen
and
Tomislav
Mrcela
making
their
presence
felt.

The
Jose
Manuel
Diaz-coached
team
have
two
points
from
four
matches.
But
against
FC
Goa,
the
century-old
club
will
fancy
their
chances.

Juan
Ferrando’s
FC
Goa
are
yet
to
win
a
game
after
three
games,
suffering
a
last-ditch
heartbreak
against
NorthEast
United
FC.

The
reigning
Durand
Cup
champions
had
almost
ensured
a
point
after
the
match
leaned
towards
a
draw
in
the
end,
but
to
their
misfortune,
Khassa
Camara
scored
a
stunner
in
stoppage
time
to
snatch
all
three
points
on
offer.

SC
East
Bengal
will
look
to
heap
more
misery
on
their
rivals
with
the
likes
of
Daniel
Chima
Chukwu
and
Antonio
Perosevic
likely
to
partner
upfront
with
Semboi
Haokip
also
adding
to
Diaz’s
options.

“It’s
a
good
start
for
improving
our
level.
We
could
have
won
the
match
and
we
hope
that
we
win
a
match
in
the
near
future,”
coach
Diaz
said
after
the
match
against
Chennaiyin.

FC
Goa,
meanwhile,
have
not
clicked
as
a
unit
despite
having
in
their
ranks
proven
quality
players
like
Edu
Bedia,
Glan
Martins
and
Jorge
Ortiz.
Airam
Cabrera
has
been
impressive
too
but
the
backline
has
looked
out-of-sorts.

Head
Coach
Juan
Ferrando
suggested
there
would
be
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
“It
is
difficult
for
the
dressing
room
atmosphere
and
the
players
to
digest
the
results
after
they
have
put
in
the
hard
work.
However,
we
need
to
brush
it
aside
and
concentrate
on
getting
all
three
points
in
the
next
game”

“The
most
important
thing
will
be
the
psychology
of
the
players
to
finish
off
games.
I
know
SC
East
Bengal
will
be
ready
to
pounce
upon
every
mistake
we
make
but
for
us,
our
biggest
opposition
is
not
the
team
in
front,
it
is
FC
Goa
itself,
we
have
to
overcome
that
and
hope
for
results,”
said
the
40-year-old
Spaniard.
