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.
