Football club East Bengal eliminated from Super Cup 2023

MANJERI: East Bengal was eliminated from the Super Cup 2023 after playing out a 2-2 draw against Aizawl FC at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri on Monday. Stephen Constantine, who managed his last EB game against Aizawl, needed his men to win by at least three goals to keep qualification hopes alive. However, despite taking a 2-0 lead within 22 minutes, the Red and Gold Brigade could not hold on to their lead yet again. Aizawl pulled one back shortly before the interval, through H.K. Lalhruaitluanga, assisted by David Lalhlansanga. Three minutes into the second half, Lalhlansanga put his own name on the scorers’ list, with a brilliant long-ranger to make it 2-2. IANS
