I-League giants Mohun Bagan played their first pre-season friendly against Indian Super League (ISL) side FC Pune City on November 6th. It turned out to be an embarrassing outing for the Kolkata giants as they suffered a 1-4 defeat.
They are scheduled to play their next friendly game against FC Goal on November 9th at the Bambolim Stadium, Goa.
The Green and Maroons are one of the strongest sides in the I-League this season and are title contenders along with arch-rivals East Bengal. In the last three seasons, they have been arguably one of the best sides in Indian football. They won the I-League in 2015 and bagged the Federation Cup in 2016. Last season they stood second in both I-League and Federation Cup behind Aizawl FC and Bengaluru FC respectively.
