Mohun Bagan blanked Pailan Arrows 2-0 in a rescheduled 11th round match of the I-League here on Sunday to regain winning form and almost ascertain its stay in the top division of the tournament.
Nigerian Okolie Odafa and Namibian Quinton Jacobs struck once in each session to give Mohun Bagan full points.
Having been thrust into the relegation zone after being asked to start afresh from the 11th round as punishment for abandoning its 10th round match against East Bengal, Mohun Bagan has played the rest of the tournament trying to prevent a demotion to the second division.

Being the developmental side of the AIFF, Arrows enjoy immunity from relegation.
