VASCO: Indian Arrows went down to Mohun Bagan 0-2 in the final hurrah of the youngsters in Hero I-League 2017-18 at the Tilak Maidan, Vasco on Tuesday.
First-half goals from Dipanda Dicka (26’) and Akram Moghrabi (41’) found the back of the net in the first half and these two strikes were enough for the Mariners to keep their title hope alive whose tally reaches to 27.
Meanwhile, Arrows who are the youngest-ever team to compete in the I-League history, finish tenth in the league with fifteen points from their 18 outings.
The forward drew first blood in the 26th minute. Arrows left space between their defence and midfield and Bagan exploited it. Dicka got in behind Jitendra Singh who failed to read a lob down the middle from Cameron Watson.
Instinctively, Dicka controlled it, positioned himself and struck an overhead kick on the volley. It was a goal of pure skill as the Cameroonian scored his 12th goal.
Sankarlal made a substitution with Gurjinder Singh replacing Ricky Lallawmawma in the 37th minute. Gurjinder made an instant impact as he delivered a pinpoint cross into the six-yard box from the left wing.
