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 …

Biggest East Bengal-Mohun Bagan derby in years with both fighting for ISL title

Biggest East Bengal-Mohun Bagan derby in years with both fighting for ISL title

Published by Webster

4 min readMay 17, 2026 07:30 AM IST It has taken six years but at long last, the Kolkata derby could actually be the match that decides the Indian Super League (ISL) crown, as opposed to being just a marketing pitch for the competition. Going into Sunday’s fixture at the Salt Lake Stadium, Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal are level on 22 points, second and third on the table respectively, after playing 11 games with the red and gold brigade ahead on goal difference. Effectively, though, the two Kolkata giants have the strongest chance at winning the title – provided one of them wins on Sunday – with current league leaders Bengaluru FC having already finished their 13 matches with 23 points. That, and the fact that Mohun Bagan have drawn twice in their last two matches, are among the many by-products of the heavily truncated and truly bizarre season that this has been in the ISL. The first of those two draws, against FC Goa, came after an inexplicable break of 20 …

Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Live Score Streaming, AIFF Super Cup 2025-26: Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal face off in the Kolkata Derby at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa in a Group A clash of the AIFF Super Cup 2025/26. Apart from the sheer weight that this fixture always carries, the game doubles up as a virtual quarterfinal with the winners set to march into the semi-finals. It is Bagan who are more in need of the win though, as a draw would see East Bengal advancing. At the same time, though, that is only if it is a draw in which both sides have scored. If it the match ends without goals, then the result of the earlier match of the day between Dempo and Chennaiyin at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, Goa. If Dempo SC defeat Chennaiyin FC by five or more goals, they will leapfrog both Kolkata clubs to qualify. If they win by fewer than a four-goal margin, East Bengal FC will progress. For East Bengal, a victory …

East Bengal eye revenge against Bagan in ‘virtual quarter-final’ in Super Cup | Football News

Published by Webster

Picking up pieces from their IFA Shield final defeat, East Bengal will be eyeing revenge against arch-rivals Mohun Bagan in a group A contest which will double up as the virtual quarter-final of the Super Cup here on Friday. Nearly two weeks ago, Mohun Bagan shot-stopper Vishal Kaith’s brilliant save in the tie-breaker caused heartbreak for East Bengal fans after the red and gold brigade clearly was the better team through the regulation and extra time. The team that wins the ‘Kolkata Derby’ will march straight into the semi-finals but in case of a draw, East Bengal will advance provided Dempo don’t win their match against Chennaiyin FC by five or more goals. Story continues below this ad However, if Dempo win exactly 4-0, it will all come down to a draw of lots between the Golden Eagles and the Red and Gold Brigade, provided the derby ends goalless. If Dempo win by a four-goal margin despite having conceded against Chennaiyin, and the derby ends goalless, then the Goan club will qualify. In essence, East …

The Kolkata Derby between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan SG will always be one of the most eclectic matches in Indian football with an average crowd of 60,000 and a rivalry that spans over a century. The off-field rivalry between fans sets this match up as one of the most sought-after fixtures in the sport. On the field though, in terms of results, there seems to be no rivalry. Mohun Bagan have dominated East Bengal, stretching their unbeaten run against their city rivals to nine in the Indian Super League. On Saturday when the two teams met again, Bagan romped to an easy 2-0 victory. Such was their dominance that East Bengal could muster just one shot on target. Bagan controlled the tempo of the match from start to finish, as a goal each from Jamie Maclaren and Dimitrios Petratos in either half was enough for Jose Molina’s men to secure their eighth win against the Red & Gold Brigade in ISL. Bagan have arguably the best side on paper this season with a focus …

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 …

‘I would tell my dad that I beat his team,’ Kiyan Nassiri recollects his Kolkata Derby heroics

Published by Webster

The Kolkata Derby has a special meaning for all the faithful supporters of Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal FC. However, its significance embraces an altogether fascinating shape in the Nassiri household, with father Jamshid Nassiri who is an East Bengal FC stalwart and son Kiyan Nassiri Giri who is one of the prominent prospects of the Mariners. Kiyan joined Mohun Bagan Super Giant as a youth star in 2019 and has steadily worked his way up to become an important member of the first team. Whilst he goes about cementing a spot in the starting XI, Kiyan made heads turn in January 2022, when he scored a hat-trick against East Bengal FC to help the Mariners to a victory in the famous Kolkata Derby in the ISL. His father Jamshid has a special association with East Bengal FC, having won the Federation Cup, and the IFA Shield amongst other top honours with the Red and Gold Brigade back in the 1980s. For Kiyan to find his calling for their arch-rivals against the same …
