Mohun Bagan's midfield anchor Joseba Beitia was happy to have kicked off his Indian football career with a victory in the 2019 Durand Cup opener against Mohammedan Sporting.

The 28-year-old Spaniard controlled the middle of the park and ensured that his team kicked off their Durand Cup campaign with a 2-0 win, with Salva Chamorro scoring both the goals in the first half itself.

"We did a good job. It was easier because we scored first. It is important to start with a win. The fan support was amazing," Beitia told Goal after the game.
