Kolkata: City giant Mohun Bagan has reached Goa in the morning from Pune to play their second warm-up match against FC Goa. The match will be played at the Fatorda Stadium on Thursday from 7pm. Though Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen still don’t know whether it would be a closed door match or not.

The Green and Maroon Brigade lost their first practice game 4-1 against FC Pune City a couple of days back. The team management demanded recording of the last game from the ISL side to know what went wrong in the last match, but FC Pune City officials told that they didn’t capture the match as it was a warm-up game. The Mohun Bagan gaffer used 21 of his 22 footballers against FC Pune City to have an idea of the team but against FC Goa he might use a set team who will feature in the forthcoming I-League season.

On the other hand their arch-rivals East Bengal reached Jamshedpur in the afternoon today after a long and tiring bus journey. They will face newly formed Indian Super League side Jamshedpur FC on November 10 in a warm-up game. The team practiced at the venue in the evening under the watchful eyes of coach Khalid Jamil.

Beside the elders the East Bengal U18 colts have already started their preparation ahead of the U18 I-League. They beat Army XI by 3-0 in a warm-up match at the Barasat Stadium today.
