Kalighat ran out 4-0 winners against Biddhannagar in the Calcutta Premier Division regular season on Monday. The visitors claimed three goals in the first ten minutes and never looked back. By then, the visitors had established a rhythm that Biddhannagar simply could not match.
And here's the thing about the opening exchanges — a goal at the sixth minute followed quickly by another at ten. Two strikes in rapid succession changed the complexion before most supporters had settled in. The home side spent the rest of the half chasing shadows.
To be fair, Biddhannagar showed some resistance after the interval. A third goal at fifty-six minutes broke what little spirit remained. The visitors camped in the final third, probing for more openings as the home defence grew increasingly fatigued.
The fourth and final goal came at an unspecified moment, completing a comprehensive victory. One mistake ends it, and Biddhannagar made too many of them. Kalighat kept their heads throughout, converting pressure into goals.
The result leaves Biddhannagar rooted at twenty-fourth place with just two points from ten games. Three wins, two draws, five losses — a difficult season unfolding. Kalighat move up to sixteenth on eleven points, though the gap to safety remains substantial.
Recent form offers little comfort for the hosts. They have lost eight of their last ten matches, including defeats to George Telegraph, Bhawanipur, and Calcutta Customs. Kalighat at least showed improvement, with that four-two win over George Telegraph highlighting their attacking potential.
