ISL 2024-25: Oscar Bruzon shares delight after win against Mohammedan SC

East Bengal FC head coach Oscar Bruzon was delighted after a 3-1 win against Mohammedan SC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium, Kolkata in the ongoing Indian Super League on Sunday.

Naorem Mahesh Singh scored in the 27th minute to give a 1-0 lead to East Bengal FC whereas captain Saul Crespo doubled the team’s lead in the 65th minute. But Franca scored in the 68th minute for Mohammedan SC to keep them in the game.

However, David Lalhlansanga sealed the game for the Red and Gold Brigade as he scored in the 89th minute. East Bengal FC had 43.2% possession but took six shots on target. Last Saturday, East Bengal FC suffered a 0-3 loss against Chennaiyin and thus it was a crucial win for them against the derby rivals.

“It is very important. As I said yesterday, the season is full of setbacks. Derbies are very important. This is not about two teams,” Bruzon said at the post-match press conference.

“Derbies are always about passion, legacy, and pride. So I think that from the reaction of our fans at the end of the game, they appreciated the work of the players, and it’s an important day for us because last week was really, really tough,” he added.

Both Crespo and Lalhlansanga scored after coming on as substitutes in the second half and Bruzon was delighted with the bench strength.

“One of the plus points of our team for today was the power of the bench. You can see that Saul came in and scored, David came in and scored. So this is something that we were lacking over the last few weeks.”

“We didn’t find that consistency during the 90 minutes, but I think that today the team was playing well, holding the rival, keeping the shape, and going very seriously about the tactical discipline. I need to praise my players today because they did a beautiful job,” stated the Spaniard.

East Bengal FC will next take on Punjab FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi on Saturday.
