East Bengal FC were held to a goalless draw by Rainbow AC in their opening match of Calcutta Football League 2023 at Kishore Bharati Stadium on Thursday. East Bengal had numerous opportunities, but they failed to convert them.
The Red & Gold Brigade earned 10 corners in the match, but failed to create any result from them.
It is under stable that the team had just started practising under coach Bino George, hence lack of communication in the team was visible. However, the Red & Gold brigade needs to re-group themselves faster before their next match.
East Bengal Starting XI:
Aditya Patra, Sarthak Golui, Athul Unnikrishnan, Tuhin Das, Subhendu Mandi, Lijo K, Sanjib Ghosh, Tanmay Das, Naseeb Rahman, Kush Chhetry, Muhammad Niyas MA.
