Internet Desk: Mohun Bagan begins their Federation Cup campaign with an emphatic fashion as the most successful club of the tournament thumped DSK Shivajians by a resounding 4-0 scoreline. Balwant Singh scored two outstanding goals to give his team a desired start to this competition. Darryl Duffy and Jeje Lalpekhlua too found their names on the score-sheet.
Mohun Bagan got their first chance in the 12th minute Sony lobbed the ball to switch the flank as Katsumi chested it down and back-passed to Duffy. Duffy, inside the box lashed it out on the first time and the side-volleyed shot was parried out by DSK goalkeeper Poirei.
In the 19th minute, Bagan tried to open up the right flank as Rinzuala had been non-existent. Narzary had to track back to defend. Meanwhile, Souvik laid onto Balwant and Sony for a one-two and the latter took a swipe on target but goalkeeper Soram Porai made a fine save to prevent the goal.
Mohun Bagan made it 3-0 in the 71st minute as Balwant Singh got his deserved brace of the evening. Duffy flayed it for Souvik who slammed into a defender and Balwant took a soft shot as Rohit Kumar blocks it. But, the rebound shot was brilliantly measured by the Bagan forward and it gave no chance to the DSK custodian to save it.
Substitute Jeje Lalpekhlua put the final nail in the coffin in the 91st minute with a calm finish to complete goal-fest.
The win puts the defending champions on the top of the group with a better goal difference.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment
