Kolkata: The Aizawl FC-Mohun Bagan game is all set to be the title decider of the Hero I-League season after East Bengal received yet another defeat against DSK Shivajians today at the Barasat Stadium. The Mariners who fought all the way through to the end against Minerva Punjab the other day, arrived at Kolkata today. The body language of the players too seemed to be very much confident.

Bagan’s saviour against Minerva, Haitian Sony Norde reminded, “Yes, the Aizawl match will be the decider. But at the same time, that will be by far the toughest game of the season for us.” He added, “The conditions will be in favour of Aizawl. The weather, the fans, the atmosphere and the stadium will all play against us. It will be tough.”

Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen too repeated the words said by Norde and focusing on the task ahead of him to secure his second I-League trophy in three years.
