David Lalhlansanga donated Rs 2000, the prize money to the family of the late Suiirajuddin, the Mohammedan Sporting fan who died of cardiac arrest while watching the team’s CFL Group League match against Army Red at Mohammedan Sporting a couple of weeks ago. 

The Black Panthers started their ‘Super-Six’ campaign in style, drubbing Kidderpore SC 5-0 at home on Sunday. David the striker from Mizoram took his tally to 15 with a brace while Samuel, Bikash Singh, and Angousana Luam scored the remaining goals for the winners. Mohammedan Sporting after Sunday’s victory is at 32 points in 13 matches. 

In a post-match interaction with the media, David, visibly happy, stated, “I am setting focus on the upcoming I-League. I will try to maintain the scoring spree in the I-league also. The positive atmosphere which we get in the dressing room is one of the key factors behind my performance.” 

But despite the humiliating scoreline, Mohammedan Sporting’s flaws in their upfront as well as in their defense were exposed. They squandered three sitters. On the contrary, Kidderpore SC exhibiting a spirited show despite the absence of their 14 first eleven footballers, created chances in the first half. The team’s Russian coach Andrew Chernyshov, although appreciated his boys'  must have observed the flaws in the team's upfront. 

Significantly, in a bid to strengthen their upfront in the I-League the Black Panthers, along with its existing foreigners are reportedly in talks with a former World Cupper striker from Honduras. It is learned that the striker who represented the country in two World Cups has a bright chances to join the Black Panthers for the I-league. 

However, Sunday's Super-Six match was declared an 'exhibition tie' by the IFA and it was promised that the gate sale of the match would be handed over to the family of late Sirajuddin. IFA donated Rs 1.5 lakh, state sports minister Arup Biswas handed over Rs 2 Lakh on behalf of the state government, East Bengal club gave the cheque for Rs 1 lakh, Mohammedan Sporting also gave Rs 1 lakh and Sajida Ahmed, and MP presented Rs 25,000. Late Sirajuddin’s son Mehrajuddin was handed over the amount of Rs 5.75 lakh at the ground and Mohammedan Sporting president Aminuddin Bobby has reportedly promised to give Rs 1 lakh also to Mehrajudddin.
