Kolkata derby ends in chaotic 1-1 draw, ISL title to be decided on final day

Published by Webster

Mohun Bagan SG and East Bengal were locked 0-0 until the 85th minute. From there until the end of the match 13 minutes later, there was a goal for East Bengal (and a celebration like they had won the league) an equaliser for Bagan, Bipin Singh made a mess of a goalscoring chance for the umpteenth time, his goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Gill made an astonishing save with his left foot and East Bengal scorer Edmund Lalrindika received a red card. All in front of a Salt Lake Stadium packed to the rafters and feeling every second of the game. One would be forgiven for thinking that Indian football and the Indian Super League (ISL) was thriving if this match on Sunday was their introduction to this world. In the end, the score was 1-1, the best possible result for the neutrals, and fans of Mumbai City and Punjab FC, the two other frontrunners for the title. It means the league winners will now be confirmed only on the final day of the season on Thursday. For …

How Kolkata Derby could decide ISL 2025-26 title race?

Published by Webster

The 2025-26 Indian Super League season is heading towards a dramatic finish. Usually, by the final week of the ISL season, the points table gives a fairly clear indication of who is likely to lift the title. But this season has been anything but predictable. With the league set to conclude on May 21, as many as seven teams, from current table toppers East Bengal FC to seventh-placed Mumbai City FC, remain mathematically in contention for the league title. The ISL follows a single-leg round-robin format this season, where all 14 teams play each other once. Unlike previous editions, there are no playoffs or knockout rounds this year, meaning the team finishing at the top of the table after 91 matches will be crowned champions. And because of that format, every remaining match suddenly feels like a final. Here’s a look at what each of the seven teams needs to do to win the ISL title: East Bengal Points: 22 from 11 matches | Goal Difference: +18 East Bengal FC currently sit at the top …

West Bengal govt not to provide security for ISL Kolkata derby

West Bengal govt not to provide security for ISL Kolkata derby

Published by Webster

The West Bengal government has ruled out the possibility of providing security cover for the Indian Super League’s (ISL) Kolkata derby between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, scheduled for January 11. The state’s sports minister, Arup Biswas, confirmed the decision. Due to the government’s inability to ensure security for the high-stakes match, it is highly likely that the game will be postponed. In the season’s first ISL derby, Mohun Bagan defeated East Bengal 2-0 on October 19. With the Red and Gold brigade regaining their form since Oscar Bruzon has been appointed their coach, this game between the two fiercest rivals in Indian football could have captivated the crowd. The reason for the government’s decision is the Gangasagar Mela, set to take place from January 8 to 17. The government has prioritised providing tight security for religious gathering, citing the looming threat of a terrorist attack. As a result, 13,000 police officers will be deployed at Gangasagar to protect the pilgrims, and strict surveillance will be maintained at Babughat in Kolkata, a key transit point. …

Kolkata: East Bengal’s start to the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season has been nothing short of a nightmare. They have been winless in four matches, with the club’s famed flaming torch, or Moshaal, waiting to be reignited. The club’s situation have become so dire that when the power went out at the East Bengal media centre on Friday, a joke cracked by a scribe made everyone laugh: “The Moshaal has been extinguished.” The lights went out three minutes into the press conference, where interim coach Bino George and midfielder Saul Crespo were speaking to the media on the eve of their derby clash against Mohun Bagan. For about four minutes, darkness prevailed at the club’s Maidan tent. The irony was not lost, as the Kolkata giants are languishing at the bottom of the league with zero points despite assembling a strong squad this season. The Red and Gold Brigade are going through a rough patch, having sacked head coach Carles Cuadrat after three consecutive losses. Youth team coach Bino George stepped in as interim …

EXPLAINED: Why did Mohun Bagan ask its fans to boycott upcoming Kolkata derby against East Bengal? | Football News

Published by Webster

The hotly anticipated Kolkata derby between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan Super Giants took a controversial turn on Thursday when the Green and Maroon club asked its fans to boycott the return leg Indian Super League match due disparity in ticket pricing. What is the ticket price controversy? The Green and Maroon brigade called for a boycott due to the fact that some Mohun Bagan stands cost more than double the price of East Bengal who are the hosts of the match. The prices range from Rs 100 to Rs 1000 for East Bengal stands, while in case of Mohun Bagan it varies from Rs 250 to Rs 3000. What does Mohun Bagan have to say? “It is unprecedented anywhere in the world that away team fans will have to buy match tickets at a price which is almost double than that of the home team fans… This is shameful,” Mohun Bagan said in a statement.
