The last time Trevor Morgan faced a Bengaluru-based team (HAL in 2011/12) from the East Bengal dug-out, he managed to beat them in both legs which included a dominating 8-1 away victory. In six I-League meetings between these two teams, honours are shared three apiece with no draws between them. First three won by East Bengal, recent three by Bengaluru. Sunil Chhetri has either scored or been booked in the last four clashes between these teams.
