Eugeneson who was brought down by Denson Devadas, made no mistake in sending a curvy shot into the box as Bagan's defenders were left nervy with the presence of Ranti Martin up close.
The ball that eventually found an advancing Tomba Singh's precise right foot flew past the keeper hitting the left corner of the net.

A completely devastated Mohun Bagan recuperated after the break with certain inputs from Karim Bencherifa but their efforts went in vain.
The Rangdajied boys were in no mood to relent. Eugene and Ranti kept Bagan's defenders on their toes up front as the visitors failed to make inroads into the home territory with Lamine Tamba creating a thick wall.
Instead, Rangdajied nearly finished with another goal in the 69th minute had Munmun Lugun not failed in keeping the ball within his grasp inside the box with a lone defender and a keeper to beat.
