Mohun Bagan's miserable run in the IFA Premier League continued as it drew 1-1 against minnows Railway Football Club in Kolkata on Wednesday.
They have only five points from as many outings.
Dipendu Biswas gave Bagan the lead with a header in the sixth minute, but RFC striker Suraj Mandal scored the equaliser in the 26th minute, lobbing the ball over advancing Bagan custodian Subroto Paul following a counter attack.
Thereafter the match, at the Barasat stadium, turned out to be a sloppy affair.
Bagan's arch-rivals East Bengal have won all the four matches they have played in the league. The two giants meet in the first derby of the season on Saturday.
