Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach Jose Molina was delighted with the team’s performance after a 2-0 win against Hyderabad FC at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium, Hyderabad in the Indian Super League on Wednesday.
Manvir Singh and Subhasish Bose scored for the Mariners to give their team a comprehensive win against the Nizams. Mohun Bagan Super Giant had 52% possession and took four shots on target and as many off target.
This was Molina’s team third win in a row and they have been able to keep a clean sheet in all three victories.
“Well, first of all, I am happy with the result, sure. Third victory in a row and the third consecutive clean sheet, it’s really good. We are happy,” Mohun Bagan SG head coach Jose Molina said in the post-match press conference.
While quizzed about the difficulties posed by Hyderabad FC players, Molina answered, “It was a tough match because Hyderabad FC started with a lot of pressure, a really intense team. Their wingers put us in some trouble. But finally, we could have a good defense, good organization, and didn’t concede goals.”
“We took advantage of a good situation for Manvir (Singh) to put the first goal on the scoresheet. And, from there, I think, we were calm. We kept possession more than in the beginning, moving the ball, and having some opportunities. I think we could have scored some more goals during the second half,” the head coach said.
The Spaniard admitted that the opposition could have also scored but he was happy with his team’s showing.
“It’s true that Hyderabad FC fought until the last moment and could have scored any goal too. But I am happy,” he said.
“I am happy with the match, with my team’s performance and the result,” Molina signed off.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant will next take on Odisha FC at the Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneshwar on 10th November.
