Aryane completed a comfortable victory away at Caligat, winning 3:0 in the Calcutta Premier Division on Wednesday. The visitors controlled proceedings from the first half and never looked in danger of dropping points. Caligat remain rooted to the bottom of the table after ten games without a win.
The breakthrough came in the twenty-eighth minute when the visitors finally broke through. They had worked the ball into space and converted when it mattered. By then the home side had struggled to string passes together and their defensive shape was already showing cracks.
To be fair, Caligat deserved to trail by two goals before half-time. The visitors struck again in the forty-first minute, taking advantage of a moment of inattention. The home defence had been pulled apart for both goals and offered little resistance after that.
Aryane ended the contest in the sixty-sixth minute, putting the result beyond doubt. The visitors had the deeper squad and managed the game with patience. They knew Caligat would have to chase the game now and were content to see it out.
The red card in the eighty-first minute was perhaps inevitable given the state of play. The home side had been chasing shadows for an hour and a half and tension finally boiled over. It changed nothing in the result but confirmed how thoroughly they had been outplayed.
The statistics tell the same story as the scoreboard. Aryane dominated possession and created chances at will, while Caligat could only watch from the sidelines. Three goals from their opportunities suggests they were clinical when it counted.
For Caligat this extends a run of poor form that has seen them drop points in seven of their last ten matches. They sit on three points in twenty-third place with no victories to show for their efforts. Aryane meanwhile move closer to the middle of the table and have shown they can compete with anyone.
