AFC Cup semi-finalists East Bengal received a big jolt ahead of their big match next week when former champions Dempo registered a thumping 3-1 win, their first victory of the season in the I-League.
It was a sloppy display for the home side with Edeh Chidi missing a penalty while the team was reduced to 10 players after Uga Okpara was sent off following a double yellow in the 75th minute.
Dempo, on the other hand, came out all guns blazing with a brace from Beto (54th and 76th) and captain Clifford Miranda who gave the Goans a third minute lead as they logged their first three points in the fifth round fixture at Kalyani Stadium.
Dempo now have six points from five matches, while East Bengal who had a delayed start to their I-League campaign remained on three from two matches.
