Kolkata’s famous Black and White brigade answering to the name of Mohammedan Sporting, will search for their first win of the tournament against the Indian Navy Football Team on Friday.
The local side coached by former India international and club player Mehrajuddin Wadoo, had a confidence boosting win in the Kolkata premiere league following their first game loss to the quality of Mumbai City FC and will be looking to get their Durand campaign back on track. The INFT on the other hand will be playing their first 132nd Indian Oil Durand Cup game.
While Wadoo will be hoping that key forward Beneston Barretto is back fit, that Argentinian Alexis Gomez starts firing and that Ghanian Prince Opoku can get on to goal scoring form, INFT will be depending on former Mohun Bagan centre-back Dalraj Singh, to lead the resistance. That can then enable their talented players upfront like P.M. Britto and Shreyas V.G. to maybe take their opportunities and give INFT a win.
