All statistics correct as of 28 February 2022.

The 2021–22 season was the 102nd season of Sporting Club East Bengal (EB or SCEB) and their second season in the Indian Super League. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021–22 Indian Super League season began on 19 November 2021 and ended on 20 March 2022 with all the matches held in Goa across three venues just like the previous season.[4][5]

Background

[edit]
See also: 2020–21 SC East Bengal season

The 2021-22 season is once again set to be played entirely in Goa due to COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] The league committee also announced that the number of foreign players that can be registered and fielded is to be reduced, with four foreign players in the playing eleven and a maximum of six can be registered, one of which should be from an Asian nation.[6]

On 8 June, East Bengal Club was handed a transfer ban by FIFA for non-payment of dues for former player Johnny Acosta.[7][8] The club was also uncertain to participate in the 2020–21 season of Indian Super League as the row between the club and their prime investor group was yet to resolve which threatened their participation in any footballing activity for the season.[9][10] The AIFF and the FSDL had asked the club authorities to sort out the mess between the club and the investor group soon.[11] East Bengal coach Robbie Fowler too expressed his dissatisfaction over the issue and slammed the club officials for their delay in signing the final termsheet.[12][13] On 25 June, the club announced that they have cleared off the dues for Johnny Acosta and hence expect the transfer ban to be uplifted by FIFA soon.[14][15] On 5 July, FIFA officially uplifted the transfer ban on East Bengal,[16] however, the club was on the verge of facing another transfer ban due to non-payment of dues for three more former players: Rakshit Dagar, Pintu Mahata and Abhash Thapa.[16][17] On 6 August, The All India Football Federation handed another transfer ban to East Bengal due to the non-payment of dues for the three aforementioned players.[18][19] On 26 August, the transfer ban was lifted by the AIFF after SC East Bengal cleared the dues for the three players.[20]

Due to the tussle between the club and the investor group, East Bengal lost out on a few of their star performers from last season including Bright Enobakhare, Debjit Majumder, Sarthak Golui, Narayan Das and Matti Steinmann.[21] The fans put up a huge protest in front of the club premises on 21 July demanding an immediate solution for the situation.[22][23][24][25] On 25 August, the long-running tussle between the club and the investor group finally came to a solution after a mediatory intervention by the Chief minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, and it was announced that the club will be participating in the 2021–22 Indian Super League with Shree Cement staying on as the investors.[26][27][28][29]

Main article: 2021–22 Indian Super League season

Summary

[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021–22 season will once again be held entirely in Goa under a secured bio-bubble.[4][5] The club was allotted the Tilak Maidan Stadium as their home ground for the season.[137] On 13 September, the fixtures for the first leg was announced.[137][138][139]

East Bengal began their campaign against Jamshedpur at the Tilak Maidan Stadium on 21 November with a 1–1 draw, with Franjo Prce putting East Bengal ahead in the seventeenth minute only for Peter Hartley to equalise in the injury time of the first half to share points.[140] East Bengal faced ATK Mohun Bagan FC next in the Kolkata Derby at the Tilak Maidan Stadium on 27 November and suffered a 0–3 defeat with three first-half goals from Roy Krishna, Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco.[141] Coach Manolo Diaz admitted that there is a big gap in quality between the two teams.[142] East Bengal faced Odisha next on 30 November at the Tilak Maidan and suffered a 6–4 defeat. Darren Sidoel had put East Bengal ahead in the 13th minute but Odisha rallied from behind with Héctor Rodas scoring twice and Javier Hernández scoring directly from the corner-kick to take a 3–1 lead at half time. Aridai Cabrera scored two more in the second half while Isak Vanlalruatfela scored another as Odisha scored six goals against East Bengal in consecutive matches. Thongkhosiem Haokip scored one and Daniel Chima Chukwu scored twice as East Bengal reduced the margin late in the game.[143] East Bengal coach Manolo Diaz expressed his frustrations after the game as he claimed: "We don't have enough quality to play matches in the Indian Super League".[144]

East Bengal faced Chennaiyin in their fourth match on 3 December and managed a 0–0 goalless draw against the two-time champions. Hira Mondal was adjudged the man-of-the-match for his excellent defensive display to secure one point for the team.[145][146] On 7 December, East Bengal went down 3–4 against Goa at the Tilak Maidan Stadium. Antonio Perosevic scored a brace while Amir Dervisevic scored one for East Bengal while Alberto Noguera scored twice along with goals from Jorge Ortiz and an own-goal from Perosevic as East Bengal suffered their third defeat in five matches.[147] East Bengal faced Kerala Blasters next on 12 December at the Tilak Maidan and drew 1–1. Australian defender Tomislav Mrcela put East Bengal ahead in the thirty-seventh minute of the game with a header from a long throw-in by Raju Gaikwad but Álvaro Vázquez equalised for Kerala just before the half-time as both teams shared points.[148] On 17 December, East Bengal faced NorthEast United and succumbed to their fourth defeat as the Highlanders won 2–0 with two second-half goals from V.P. Suhair and Patrick Flottmann.[149] Croatian forward Antonio Perosevic was given marching orders after he assaulted the referee in the dying minutes of the game.[150] The Croatian was handed a five-match ban for the incident.[151][152] East Bengal faced Hyderabad in their eighth match on 23 December at the GMC Athletic Stadium and managed to get another point after the match ended 1–1. Amir Dervisevic put East Bengal ahead in the 20th minute from a free-kick but Bartholomew Ogbeche restored parity in the 35th minute as both the teams shared the points.[153]

On 4 January, East Bengal faced Bengaluru at the Bambolim Stadium and managed another 1–1 draw, led by interim head coach Renedy Singh. Thongkhosiem Haokip put East Bengal ahead in the 28th minute of the game with a header from a set piece by Wahengbam Angousana. Bengaluru equalised in the second half via an own goal from Sourav Das in the 55th minute as both teams shared points.[154] East Bengal faced the defending champions Mumbai City next on 7 January at the Tilak Maidan Stadium and played out a goalless draw to end the first leg of the season without a single win.[155] Renedy Singh, who was once again in charge of the team, applauded his injury-stricken side for the performance against the defending champions despite playing with just one foreign player.[156] East Bengal faced Jamshedpur in the next match on 11 January and suffered another defeat as Ishan Pandita scored a late winner in the 88th minute to hand Jamshedpur a 1–0 win. Interim head coach Renedy Singh had fielded an all Indian starting eleven against Jamshedpur, a first of a kind in the history of the Indian Super League.[157]

On 19 January, East Bengal faced Goa at the Bambolim Stadium and snatched their first victory of the season as they won 2–1 with Naorem Mahesh Singh scoring a brace for the team. Alberto Noguera scored the only goal for Goa. East Bengal thus ended their winless streak after 346 days, since their victory against Jamshedpur in the previous season.[158] This was also the first game in charge for new head coach Mario Rivera.[159] East Bengal faced Hyderabad next on 24 January at the Bambolim Stadium and suffered a 4–0 defeat. Bartholomew Ogbeche scored a hattrick while Aniket Jadhav scored the other as East Bengal suffered their sixth defeat of the season.[160] On 29 January, East Bengal faced rivals ATK Mohun Bagan and suffered a 3–1 defeat after conceding two late goals in the injury time, as Kiyan Nassiri scored a hattrick for ATK Mohun Bagan after Darren Sidoel had put East Bengal ahead in the 56th minute.[161]

On 2 February, East Bengal faced Chennaiyin at the Tilak Maidan and rallied from 0–2 behind to make a 2–2 comeback in the injury time. Chennaiyin took the lead in the second minute after Hira Mondal scored an own-goal and Ninthoinganba Meetei doubled the lead in the 15th minute. Darren Sidoel scored directly from a free-kick in the 61st minute for East Bengal to reduce the deficit while Lalrinliana Hnamte headed in the equaliser in the 91st minute to complete the comeback and earn another point for East Bengal.[162]
