Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s head coach Jose Molina believes they could have scored more goals against Mohammedan SC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season’s first Kolkata Derby at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium, Kolkata on Saturday.

Jamie Maclaren opened the scoring for Molina’s team in the eighth minute of the game. The home team continued their domination as Greg Stewart and Subhasish Bose scored in the first half to give a thumping 3-0 win to their team.

The Mariners came up with a commanding display as they took 12 shots off target whereas 10 of their attempts hit the target.

“The whole team played really well. All the players made a great effort. They put great pressure, in defence we recovered the ball faster. Then, we kept the ball and moved it with good speed and tried to look forward.. We scored three goals, we could’ve scored more. I think it was a great match for everybody,” he said in the post-match press conference. 

When quizzed about his team’s missed chances, Molina answered: “The point is to have the chances to score. We had the chances because we played really well and sometimes you have the success and sometimes you don’t have so much success. The point is we played really well. But we still can improve and we have to try to improve what we can and try to be a better team.”                         

Mohun Bagan Super Giant came up with a brilliant performance as they came up with a collective effort. This was Kolkata-based club’s second win of the season and they will look to carry the winning impetus after the International break.

MBSG will next take on derby rivals East Bengal FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium, Kolkata on 19th October.
