SC East Bengal got off to a poor start in the 2020-21 ISL campaign. The Red and Golds had to wait till their fourth match against Jamshedpur FC to pick up their first point. However, they failed to capitalise and lost 3-2 to Hyderabad FC in the next game. But, since then, SC East Bengal have been on an unbeaten streak.
Addressing the media after the match, assistant coach Tony Grant said:
Since their arrival in 2017, Bengaluru FC have made it to the playoffs in every season of ISL. Their captain Sunil Chhetri looked menacing against SC East Bengal, but goalkeeper Debjit Majumder came up with some vital saves to preserve the clean sheet.
“The jump is like taking a Conference team in the UK to the Premier League” - SC East Bengal assistant coach Tony Grant
When asked whether this win over Bengaluru FC can galvanize them to greater heights, Grant replied that SC East Bengal is still a work in progress team.
SC East Bengal have a six-day gap ahead of them before they clash with Kerala Blasters at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco. The Red and Golds need to make the most of this break as the games will come thick and fast later on.
