It took a late penalty goal from Jaime Santos Colado for East Bengal to rescue a point against Churchill Brothers in their 14th match of the ongoing I-League season.
Red and Golds boss Mario Rivera had dropped Liberian striker Ansumana Kromah from the starting lineup but was forced to bring him on in the 62nd minute of the match.
Justifying his decision to drop Kromah, Rivera said, “I think we created too many opportunities today. We were better in the midfield than them. Therefore we could create so many opportunities with an extra midfielder.
