Durand Cup 2019: Salva Chamorro's brace sets up dominant Mohun Bagan victory

A first half brace by the new signing was enough for Mohun Bagan to open their account with a win...

Mohun Bagan defeated Mohammedan Sporting 2-0 in the inaugural match of the 129th Durand Cup on Friday at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.

Former Barcelona B striker Salva Chamorro (2', 21') scored the two goals in the opening half and it was enough for Bagan to start their campaign on a winning note.

Kibu Vicuna started in a 4-4-2 formation with veteran custodian Shilton Paul under the sticks. He was shielded by Ashutosh Mehta in right back, Fran Morante and Gurjinder Kumar at the heart of the defence, whereas Dhanachandra Singh started as a left-back.
