The Mariners went ahead in the 34th minute through a Rohit Halder goal, which was equalised only a couple of minutes later by Bikram Singh for the red and gold in the first half injury time.
The 2-1 winner came for East Bengal through Dipu Yadav, who scored in the 42nd minute.
With their first win of the campaign, the East Bengal U-13s move to four points from five matches, while Mohun Bagan U-13s stay on 10 points from six matches.
Meanwhile a Kolkata derby is a Kolkata derby, be it amongst the seniors or juniors but fairplay is also something very important and fundamental as a lesson for these young footballers and treating each other to cake after the match on the occasion of Christmas was a great thing to see!
