KOLKATA (India): Mohammedan Sporting Club fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against TRAU FC at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium on Tuesday.
Goals by Komron Tursunov in the 2nd minute and Helder Lobato in first half stoppage time were cancelled out by Nikhil Kadam and Hira Mondal in the 58th and 68th minutes respectively.
Komron slotted home from close range, latching on to a rebound after a defensive error handed TRAU possession of the ball just outside the opposition’s penalty box.
The early setback rattled Mohammedan and though the Kolkata-based club dominated possession, their lacklustre performance in the final third meant that TRAU FC’s goalkeeper was forced to make easy saves of shots coming mostly from outside the box.
Kadam was a live-wire in Mohammedan attack as his speed caught the TRAU defenders off guard, but that was not enough to find the back of the net.
In added time at the end of the first half, TRAU were given a corner and Tursunov’s delivery was thumped home by an unmarked Lobato. (Source: AIFF)
