The Calcutta Football League witnessed a dominant display from Mohun Bagan SG II on July 19, 2026, as they cruised to a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Kalighat FC at a packed venue. The young Mariners showcased their attacking flair and defensive solidity, climbing the standings with a performance that underlined their ambitions this season.

Dominance from the First Whistle

Mohun Bagan SG II started at a blistering pace, pressing Kalighat high up the pitch and forcing errors in the visitors’ own half. The breakthrough came in the 12th minute when a swift passing move carved open the Kalighat defence. Midfielder Suman Ghosh exchanged a neat one-two with winger Rohit Das before driving a low shot into the far corner, making it 1-0.

Kalighat FC struggled to stem the tide. Their midfield was overrun, and the backline looked unsettled every time the home side attacked. Mohun Bagan SG II doubled their lead just before the half-hour mark. A corner kick was headed goalward by centre-back Arjun Mukherjee, and after a goalmouth scramble, the ball fell to striker Pradip Saha, who turned it home from six yards out. 2-0 at the interval and the game was all but decided.

Second-Half Control and Third Goal

The second half saw Mohun Bagan SG II manage the game expertly. They kept possession, denied Kalighat any rhythm, and waited for opportunities to hit on the counter. The third goal arrived in the 67th minute, a moment of individual brilliance from winger Rohit Das. Picking up the ball on the left flank, he cut inside past two defenders and unleashed a curling shot that nestled into the top corner. 3-0 and the stadium erupted.

Kalighat FC never looked like mounting a comeback. Their best chance came from a free kick that sailed narrowly over the bar, but otherwise, the Mohun Bagan SG II goalkeeper had a quiet evening. The home side could have added more, but a combination of good goalkeeping and poor finishing kept the scoreline at three.
