Her first assignment as an independent coach failed to bring a smile ultimately. Southern Samity had to play out a 2-2 draw to split points with CFC in their CFL Premier Division match on Thursday at Rabindra Sarobar Stadium and Sujata Kar said, “The win could have been pleasant ultimately. I observed the boys looked quite complacent during the match, especially the defenders. Otherwise, we would not have conceded the second goal. The defenders should not have allowed the opposition footballer to score freely.”

Farukh Sheikh and Sonu Halder scored Southern which has garnered 15 points from their 11th League match. Ayan Krishna Das Sharma scored the brace for CFC including a brilliant 20-yard right footer. 

In another CFL Premier League match on the day United Sports Club, maintaining supremacy humbled Dalhousie AC 5-1 at Kalyani Stadium. Tarak Hembram scored the brace and Surendra Nath Biswas, Dipesh Murmu, and Sujal Munda scored one each for the winners. Rahul Dowary reduced the margin for Dalhousie. United SC is on the 16 points after their 11th tie. 

Peerless also recorded a convincing 5-0 victory against FCI in another match. Donald Diengdoh, Manotosh Maji (2), and Stephanson Pale (2) scored for the winners. In another CFL Premier League match, BSS Sporting Club drubbed Eastern Railway 3-0.
