Dominant East Bengal pick up comfortable win against Chennai City

Jaime Santos stole the limelight with a goal and an assist to his name...

East Bengal romped to a 2-0 victory in Coimbatore on Saturday evening after brushing aside a meek and mild challenge from Chennai City. Marcos de La Espada (66') scored his fifth of the season but it was Jaime Santos who starred, first with an assist and then with a goal (77').

The defending champions made four changes to the side that won 3-2 against Gokulam in the Southern derby. But the key players like Katsumi Yusa, Roberto Eslava and Fito continued to feature for the Lions.
