Mohun Bagan’s inconsistent form in the Kolkata League continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Customs on Wednesday. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, the Mariners failed to capitalize, jeopardizing their hopes of making the Super Six.

The match began with high energy as Suhel Bhat scored in the 40th minute, giving Mohun Bagan the lead with a stunning header. However, Customs fought back, equalizing early in the second half through a precise strike. While the Mariners pressed for a winner, poor finishing and defensive errors once again cost them.

This draw places Mohun Bagan seventh in the table, making their path to the Super Six increasingly difficult. With only three wins in nine matches, fans and management alike are frustrated by the team’s inability to maintain consistency. Coach Deggie Cardozo faces immense pressure to turn the tide as the league enters its final stages.
