Coald India and Police shared the points in a Calcutta Premier Division regular season match on Thursday. The visitors had been struggling in the table before this encounter. A 1:1 result left both sides with something to reflect on.
The drama came late, and here's the thing about those late periods. F. Ali gave Coald India the lead in the 63rd minute, but Police responded immediately. One goal later, in the 64th, the visitors had restored parity.
By then, the game had opened up. Coald India took the lead again through R. Sardar in the 76th minute. Police found another equaliser in the 77th, and the match settled back into equilibrium.
The standings tell you where these sides stand. Coald India occupy fourth place with 22 points from eleven games. Police sit eleventh with 17 points, two more defeats than victories.
Recent form suggests Coald India have been more volatile. A 5:2 victory over Vari followed a 1:1 draw with Mazers. They've also dropped points against Calcutta Police and Caligat.
Police have been steadier but less impactful. A 1:1 draw with Mohammedan came after a 1:0 win over Suruchi Sanga. They've kept clean sheets against Vari and Aryan.
The result keeps Coald India in the mix for higher positions. Police remain in the lower half, but one point doesn't change their trajectory much.
