East Bengal turn tables on Mohun Bagan
Image credit: East Bengal FC KOLKATA: As the referee blew the final whistle, East Bengal players dropped to the ground one after another. This time around, in delight. As Oscar Bruzon made his way to the Mohun Bagan SG bench for a customary handshake with his opposite Jose Molina, the table was turned by then, and how. East Bengal rode a brace from Dimitrios Diamantakos to down Mohun Bagan 2-1 at the Salt Lake Stadium on Sunday, storming into the Durand Cup semis and ending the green-and-maroon brigade's long reign at the venue. Coming off the bench in the 19th minute following in-form striker Hamid Ahadad's early injury, Diamantakos set the tempo by converting a penalty in the 38th minute.

Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Live: Fans gear up for Kolkata Derby as MBSG face EBFC in Durand Cup quarterfinals
Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Live: Even in amongst all the chaos and confusion surrounding the state of professional Indian football over these last months, everything seems to fall silent as you approach a Kolkata Derby. The game of all games in this sport on the subcontinent, one of the most high profile rivalries in any sport across the world: when Mohun Bagan prepare to take on East Bengal, everything must stop and all attention must turn to the pitch. Such is the cardinal rule in More This time, with the ISL on break, the national team sputtering along, the Durand Cup is what will play host to the derby. The quarterfinal round will see the two teams head to the cavernous Salt Lake Stadium, the spiritual home of the sport in India, and have a right scrap to find out who will progress, and who will have to deal with the goadings of the old enemy after getting knocked out. Both teams have been dominant in the Durand Cup thus far, progressing without dropping a game. Historically, East Bengal have a brief edge in this contest, including in the Durand Cup where they have won 9 games compared to 8 for the Mariners. That being said, Mohun Bagan have been one of the form teams in Indian domestic football over the recent past, and that has also translated to results in the Kolkata Derby, where they lead by 6 wins to 5 since the start of 2023. But how narrow these gaps indicates that whatever the state of the teams might be, it will remain competitive. Mohun Bagan are double holders of the ISL at the moment, but East Bengal are going through a wholesale rebuild which has seen them stock up on some serious talent to try and get their hands on a first top division title in over 20 years. This is a resurgent East Bengal team, whose new signings have turned around their energy, and now they will be hoping their fortune. Before that, the idea will be to draw level with their great rivals in the Durand Cup: Mariners have won this tournament 17 times, but the Red and Gold are just behind them on 16. With Mohun Bagan's AFC Asian Champions League Two campaign set to begin next month and the team nursing a few injuries, it won't be Bagan at their best, something coach Jose Molina has already made a note of. But when it comes down to it, the one promise you can make is that the tackles won't be anything short of fully-fledged and the playing conditions will be anything except friendly.

Mohun Bagan look to regroup in Durand Cup before ACL2 challenge
Reigning ISL champions Mohun Bagan might have appeared rusty in a recent CFL derby but would like to pit up an improved show when they take on city rivals Mohammedan Sporting in a Group B clash of the Durand Cup at the Salt Lake Stadium on Wednesday. Bagan lost the season's first Kolkata Derby 2-3 to East Bengal, that match featured a mixed squad and was not part of their main pre-season plan. So, this will be the Mariners' first major competitive outing of the season, with the prestigious tournament serving as a crucial build-up to their AFC Champions League 2 campaign, scheduled iin less than two months' from now. Mohun Bagan, who finished runners-up in the Durand Cup last year after losing to NorthEast United FC in a penalty shootout, are taking this edition seriously despite being without their foreign recruits and head coach Jose Molina. They are expected to join in the second week of August just in time for the knockouts, should they qualify. In the meantime, assistant coach Bastab Roy is leading preparations with a full-strength Indian squad, combining core ISL players and developmental talent. Among those are Ashis Rai, Manvir Singh, Liston Colaco, Deepak Tangri, Apuia, Abhishek Suryavanshi, Anirudh Thapa, Glan Martins and goalkeeper Vishal Kaith. All eyes will be on new signing T Abhishek Singh, a defender, who joined from Punjab FC on a record transfer deal. Youngsters Suhail Bhat and Kiyan Nassiri are likely to lead the frontline in the absence of foreign strikers, as the Mariners who have won the title a record 17 times will look to hit the ground running. Mohun Bagan's Durand Cup campaign also comes amid broader uncertainty in Indian football, with a deadlock between the AIFF and its commercial partner FSDL delaying ISL pre-season plans for several clubs. Mohammedan Sporting, meanwhile, will be under pressure after a 1-2 loss to debutants Diamond Harbour FC in their opening group game as the two teams would look to renew their age-old rivalry. Despite taking a first-half lead through Adison in the 36th minute, they failed to hold on. The Black Panthers, who narrowly missed out on knockout qualification last year, will be desperate to bounce back and avoid another early exit. They had reached the final in 2021 and the semi-finals in 2022. Kick-off: 7pm IST.
