Barretto's brilliance gives Bagan victory

Mohun Bagan relied on striker Jose Ramirez Barretto's brilliance to carve out a 2-1 victory over Salgaocar and stay on course for their third National Football League title.

The irrepressible Brazilian striker fired in both goals in Friday's match at the Salt Lake stadium to help the glamour club clinch full points and put themselves just one point adrift over leaders East Bengal.
