ISL Friendlies

Bengaluru FC, who drew against Kolkata giants East Bengal a couple of days back, bagged a comfortable 3-1 win in a repeat friendly yesterday which was inspired by an early brace from striker Udanta Singh.

Last year's champions ATK have had a wonderful preseason till now and won 3-2 in their third friendly against UAE club Dibba Al-Hisn Sports Club. The former Liverpool striker and Irish legend Robbie Keane opened his account for his new club in the game. Strikers Bipin Singh and Zequinha where the other two scorers for the Kolkata-based club. With this win, ATK have now won 3 in 3 matches in their Dubai preseason and the players expressed their joy on social media.

FC Goa, who had a poor season last year, are ready for the new season with their third straight win in preseason, this time against Spanish side FC Cartagena. The Gaurs had a stunning 4-2 win against the Spanish side. Spanish strikers Ferran Corominas and Adrian Colunga were on the score sheet. The Highlanders NorthEast United FC also had their preseason friendly against Iraqi side Al Kahraba football club of which the results are not available.

With all the ten teams preparing hard for the new season which is around the corner, the fight for the silverware will be interesting to see.

Neymar named Brazil 🇧🇷 captain permanently

Neymar believes the responsibility of leading Brazil will be good for him after the Paris Saint-Germain star was appointed captain. Head coach Tite scrapped his captaincy rotation by naming Neymar as Brazil's permanent skipper on the eve of Friday's international friendly against the United States in New Jersey. Neymar endured a turbulent World Cup campaign in Russia, where Brazil made a shock quarter-final exit against Belgium. The 26-year-old – who scored twice at the showpiece tournament after recovering from a broken foot sustained in February – was a regular target of criticism for his theatrics and behaviour on the pitch, having exaggerated fouls. Fronting the media alongside Tite after he received the captain's armband, Neymar told reporters: "I accepted again because I've learned a lot and I will learn much more. And this responsibility will be a good thing to me."
