KOLKATA: East Bengal FC lost the lead twice before coming out of the hole with a 3-2 win over Hyderabad FC in their Kalinga Super Cup opener in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday.
Cleiton Silva put East Bengal in front twice in the 33 and 53 minutes. But Rahmlunchunnunga’s finish off a Lalchhanhima Sailo cutback on the cusp of halftime and Nim Dorjee’s conversion of a penalty in the 78th minute kept hopes alive for Hyderabad FC — playing in the Super Cup with an all-Indian squad.
