After an exciting cold finished goal by 'Dimi-God Petratos', the Mariners are back in their backyard to take on a Jubilant and highly motivated Northeast United to keep penetrating the ISL Shield race as it gets much hotter after Mohun Bagan has beaten FC Goa. Habas is making sure to develop this form even further.
Antonio Lopez Habas and his boys played their best match so far after taking charge in February and it was definitely one of those outings showing what Habas is capable of now.
The main talking point remains how Joni Kauko has settled even after joining more than a year later and keeps shining within this new personnel, the cunning and cold finish of Dimitrios Petratos. With the stellar performance of youngster Dippendu Biswas in his first major away outing the Mariners were in a treat yesterday. With this win, the team has recharged the lost morale which the team lacked heavily. Antonio Lopez Habas has again proved who's the real boss in this league with his brilliant gameplay and on-field instructions.

On the other hand Northeast has been picking up stones slowly to gain momentum they somehow lost it during the end of the winter break. The lack of an experienced striker in the squad really caused troubles for Juan Pedro Benali's boys and to address the situation their management has signed former Australian international Tom Juric to their squad. The addition of Juric is the main talking point of this Northeast squad which led them to win against the current Super Cup winner Emami East Bengal FC.

Mohun Bagan will still miss Brendan Hamill and probably Anwar Ali who's almost in his final stages of recovery. But in the meantime the services of youngster Cenre back Dippendu Biswas have been commendable as he literally "Pocketed" Noah Sardoui and Jay Gupta the whole match. Hopefully missing some key players won't hurt this fixture for now.

The last fixture between these two sides was a convincing away 3-1 win for Mohun Bagan which was a great feat for the team as winning in the Indira Gandhi Athletic stadium is not an easy task for other ISL teams. With all said the new addition of Tom Juric can make troubles for the Mariners on form.
