Mohun Bagan outplays HASC

By Our Sports Reporter

BANGALORE Dec. 16. HASC played to its promise. But sadly it lasted only for the first 10 minutes wherein the local side went 1-0 up.

Thereafter Mohun Bagan notched up a 3-1 win riding on a George Ekeh's hat-trick, in the Oil PSU National Football League at the Bangalore Football stadium here today.

For George Ekeh, the ebullient Nigerian it was a home coming of sorts.

Having played a full season last year with the local side ITI, for whom he was overworked and proved a moderate success.

However, in the ranks of the well-knit side and playing alongside versatile Jose Barretto and India captain Bhaichung Bhutia, George was at his near best and his second hat-trick of the league (having scored all the three goals in Bagan's 3-3 draw with JCT at home), deservingly won him the man of the match award of Rs. 5000.

This was Bagan's second win against three draws and a 0-2 loss to East Bengal while HASC suffered it's third reversal and have only four points to show in five outings.
