Mohun Bagan extend lead atop with Churchill Brothers revenge

Papa Diawara (6'), Suhair VP (50'), Komron Tursunov (58') helped Mohun Bagan to a 3-0 win over Churchill Brothers at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Goa, on Saturday.

The Kolkata giants hence avenged the 4-2 defeat in the first leg and now see themselves 11 points clear atop the I-League 2019-20 standings as the Red Machines remain two behind second-placed Punjab FC (21 points).

Churchill coach Bernardo Tavares brought in Ponif Vaz in place of suspended Robert Primus and with Dhanachandra Singh suspended for the visitors, Kibu Vicuna included Daneil Cyrus in his 11 while Gurjinder Kumar replaced Tursunov to adhere to the five foreigners rule.
