SECOND-HALF

46′ | An exciting second 45 minutes awaits us. Reason? Roy Krishna has scored most of his goal in the second 45 minutes and SC East Bengal too have scored a lot in the second half

This the second chance that Roy Krishna got around the 40-minutes mark, Mchugh with the through ball. Who did Robbie Fowler interview a few weeks back? And where have we seen a team facing problems defending their high line? Robbie Fowler’s podcast has the anser.
