I have witnessed many football matches, but one particular match, that I always
remember, was held last year between the two Calcutta giant teams: Bagan and
Bengal. It was a wonderful match. The match was held in the Bagan ground. I went
with two of my friends.
The players on both sides took their respective positions, and moved promptly
towards the ball, as soon as the referee's whistle was heard. The forward players of
Bagan team had the ball in their control from the beginning, and at the end of about
half-an-hour's play, they scored the first goal. And that was the only goal scored
during the first half of the game.
During the second half, Bengal players became aggressive from the beginning. The
striker of Bengal dribbled the ball skillfully and took it into the penalty box, trying to
pierce through the defense net of their opponent team, and was successful to move
forward and score a goal. This draw-game continued for some time. Now both the
sides tried to score a goal, but neither was successful. In the last moment, the result
was 1-1.
The excellent team spirit shown by Bagan, as well as their cool performances and
brave defense won the hearts of the spectators. Bengal, too, put up a fine show. The
memory of that lively match is still fresh in my mind, even though it occurred several
months ago.
