Durand Cup 2019: Lack of fitness haunts Mohun Bagan as they fail to claim record championship

Gokulam Kerala scripted history as they became only the second club from the state to win the prestigious Durand Cup…

It could have been a fairytale start to Antonio Vicuna’s reign in Indian football as Mohun Bagan had the golden opportunity of winning the Durand Cup 2019 title on Saturday.

Unfortunately, the Maroon and Green brigade went down 1-2 against Gokulam Kerala on Saturday at the Salt Lake Stadium.

Asia’s oldest cup tournament, Durand Cup, was organised in Kolkata for the first time ever and the stage was set for the Mariners to bag their record 17th title and surpass arch-rivals East Bengal.
