As expected, Mohun Bagan advances into the last four of the Federation Cup in style. Mohun Bagan was already in an advantageous position as they defeated Salgaocar in the away tie by 3-2. Now, at home they just made a clean-sweep of the Goan side by 4-0. Sony Norde scored a brace, one in either halves, while Katsumi Yusa and Jeje Lalpekhlua shared their names on the scoresheet.
It was Mohun Bagan's evening throughout at the Barasat Stadium. Sony made a comeback after recovering from his knee injury and was absolutely mesmerizing on the pitch. Katsumi again played his part with his trademark pace and dedication. The 'Fukoshima Bomber' gave Bagan the necessary lead in the 25th minute. Sony doubled it with a fine right-foot placement just before the lemon-break. Sony scored his second and team's third with a brilliant left-footed piledriver in the 52nd minute. Then Sony was replaced by Glen towards the middle of the 2nd half. Jeje extended the lead in the injury time of the match from Glen's assist.
Bagan will now take on Shillong Lajong FC in the semis. First it will be the home tie for the Mariners on Sunday, May 8th at Barasat. The away tie will be played at Shillong on Saturday, 14th of the month. The green-and-maroon brigade must be on a high morale with their today's performance and determined to clinch the title for the 14th time.
