Pune FC 0
d/w
Kingfisher East Bengal 0
Pune: Two strikers, Jeje Lalpekhlua of Pune FC and Ozbey Toglay of Kingfisher East Bengal deserved to be on the scoring list, but as the luck would have it, this Round XIV match ended in a goalless draw at the Balewadi Sports Complex ground here on Saturday.
Both Pune FC and East Bengal created chances galore, but the respective defence worked full time and though some gaps were left, goalkeepers chipped in with their saves.
For Pune FC, Abhra Mondal was the real savior who blocked several chances and took some blows on his body from the East Bengal, the team that loaned him out to Pune FC.
By gaining one point from this tie, Pune FC stayed put on No 5 position, one point ahead of Prayag United SC, which had moved up earlier in the day on goal difference.
East Bengal will move up to No 2 position ahead of Churchill Brothers, who are set to play Mohun Bagan tomorrow.
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu was adjudged man-of-the-match.
