Railway FC holds East Bengal

KOLKATA: East Bengal’s poor run continued in the domestic season as the former champion was held 1-1 by Railway FC in a premier division match of the Calcutta Football League at the Salt Lake Stadium on Thursday.

East Bengal went into the lead in the 16th minute when Praveen Kumar nodded home a cross from Alvito D’Cunha. The lead was short-lived as the railwaymen got the equaliser through Suraj Mondal in the 33rd minute. — Principal Correspondent
