East Bengal defence under pressure after Tuhin's red card

East Bengal expectedly dominated the play with Souvik and Sarthak Golui featuring in the line-up but Tuhin Das's 17th minute red card made things tricky for the side as they now look vulnerable on the counter despite dominating the play! The rain has crippled the Kolkata giants too as the youth side struggle to create chances on the wet outfield
