SILIGURI: Two magical goals in a span of 8 minutes, first by Sony Norde (36′) , and then by a U-22 Indian, Azharuddin Mallick (43′) were enough for a dominant Mohun Bagan to beat arch-rivals Kingfisher East Bengal 2-1 in a crucial Hero I-League encounter at the Kanchenjunga Stadium in Siliguri on Sunday (April 8, 2017).

The result elevated Mohun Bagan to 29 points from 14 matches and a victory each in their remaining 4 matches will hand Bagan their second Hero I-League title in three years. Kingfisher East Bengal, meanwhile, stayed on 27 points from 15 matches. Kingfisher East Bengal’s goal was also a magical one, a left-footed volley punched in by Rowllin Borges (90’+2′) in added time of the second half.
