East Bengal 4-1 Pailan Arrows: Penn And Tolgay Orchestrate A Comfortable Victory

After enduring a torrid week, East Bengal finally give their supporters something to cheer about, registering a comprehensive win over Pailan Arrows....

East Bengal bounced back in style from their recent disappointments as they made short work of the Pailan Arrows outfit.

Trevor Morgan's boys defeated the Indian developmental outfit 4-1 with Tolgay Ozbey scoring a brace ( 31st, 76th minute) and Penn Orji (27th minute) and Robert Lalthlamuana (57th minute) compelting the rout. Pailan could only get a consolation goal through defender Prathamesh Maulingkar (60th minute).

The Red and Gold brigade began the match slowly, probably needing time to recover from the supporter backlash that had met their disappointing performances in the local league where they lost back to back matches against arch-rivals Mohun Bagan and then against unfancied Techno Aryans. However they slowly started getting into their stride and Sanju Pradhan's brilliant run down the left flank resulted in them opening the scoring. Sanju's shot could only be parried onto the path of the onrushing Penn Orji by the Arrows' custodian Naveen Kumar. Penn expertly headed the ball in to make it 1-0 for East Bengal in the 27th minute.

The goal seemed to have helped East Bengal move up another gear, as in the 31st minute it was again Penn Orji who played a brilliant ball to Tolgay to make it 2-0 for the Kolkatan outfit as the young Arrows outfit was all at sea against a rampaging East Bengal. However Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, the young goalie justified his selection when he expertly saved a Pailan freekick and also a header from Bijendra Rai.

East Bengal had further chances to extend the lead as Tolgay expertly cut inside from the right, but his shot was dragged just wide. Just before the break Tolgay was clean through but a last ditch challenge from Pailan defender, Gurtej Singh Sr. made him miss the target.- http://www.goal.com/
