Mohun Bagan sails past Classic FA to clinch RFDL 2024-25 title
Mohun Bagan Super Giant clinched the Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) 2024-25 title after sailing past Classic Football Academy 3-0 in the final.
Pasang Dorjee Tamang scored a hat-trick to hand the Mariners the triumph in the ultimate fixture held at the Reliance Corporate Park in Mumbai on Monday.
In the 8th minute, Tamang drew first blood when he smashed in one from the edge of the box to find the top right corner. Tamang soon scored his second, capitalising on a mistake from the Classic FA defence to make it 2-0.
In the second half, Tamang completed a hat-trick to help the Mariners seal the victory. The Mariners’ RFDL victory comes on the back of their senior team famously clinching the Indian Super League Double — League Shield and Cup.
Their U-15 side also claimed the trophy in the Reliance Foundation Youth Sports (RFYS) Kolkata region.
