Opting to rotate the squad after two rounds in Durand Cup, East Bengal's Spanish coach Alejandro Menendez found his attackers unable to provide the desired finish despite his side dominating the action for the greater part of the match.  With the scoreline remaining barren for the regulation 90 minutes, Morgan found the net off a solo effort as Geroge Telegraph mounted a successful counter-attack in the injury time. This was the third consecutive win for George Telegraph which remained on top of the table with nine points.

The result: East Bengal 0 lost to George Telegraph 1 (Justice Morgan 90+3)
