Kalighat secured a comfortable 4-2 victory over George Telegraph in the Calcutta Premier Division regular season on Wednesday evening. The visiting side took control early and never looked back, leaving the hosts to fend for themselves in the second half. It was another day to forget for George Telegraph, who remain rooted to the bottom of the table.
The visitors struck first at the ten-minute mark, catching the home defence sleeping. George Telegraph responded almost immediately, finding the net themselves at sixteen. To be fair, it was a game that opened quickly, with neither side able to settle into any rhythm.
At twenty-three, a penalty was missed, and that moment felt significant. George Telegraph pushed forward, looking for an equaliser, but Kalighat added a third at twenty-seven. By then, the visitors had clearly decided how they wanted to play, and the hosts were chasing shadows.
Four minutes into the second period, Kalighat made it 4-1, and the game was effectively over. George Telegraph pulled one back at sixty, but Kalighat closed the game out at sixty-seven. The visitors had the composure to see things through, something the hosts lacked entirely.
Kalighat move up to fourteenth place with fourteen points from eleven games, while George Telegraph stay in twenty-second with just seven. The visitors are unbeaten in their last three away fixtures, whereas the hosts have lost eight of their eleven outings. Things came to a head with this result, and Kalighat made sure they were the ones who benefited.
