East Bengal clinched successive victories in the Calcutta Football League as they routed BSS Sporting 6 - 0 at Barrackpore's Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay Stadium on Tuesday.

Chaku Mandi, David Lalhlansanga, Muhammed Ashiq, Naseeb Rahman, Mark Zothanpuia, and Guite Vanlalpeka each scored a goal for the team managed by Bino George.
Goals from Mandi, Lalhlansanga, and Ashiq gave East Bengal a commanding three - goal lead by half - time. Then, strikes from Rahman, Zothanpuia, and Vanlalpeka ensured a resounding win for the side.
In East Bengal's last CFL game, Lalhlansanga scored the decisive goal after Mohun Bagan had fought back from being two goals down. Kiyan Nassiri and Leewan Castanha scored for the Mariners, while Jesin TK and Sayan Banerjee found the net for the Red and Gold in the first half.
