For the first time in 19 long years, the Durand Cup will once again witness the iconic Kolkata Derby in the grand finale. Both East Bengal FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant have had a stellar campaign so far in the tournament, edging past NorthEast United FC and FC Goa respectively in the semi-finals.
The Red and Gold Brigade completed a dramatic comeback on Tuesday after going down by two goals. An own goal from Dinesh Singh, and a 97th-minute equalizer from Nandhakumar Sekar, allowed EBFC to crawl back into the tie. A botched penalty in the shootout from Parthib Gogoi ensured the Kolkata Giants' pathway into the final showdown.
With Carles Cuadrat roaring at the sidelines, the Torchbearers marched into the final of the competition after a prolonged hiatus.
Meanwhile, the Mariners have had an outstanding campaign of their own. After an upsetting 1-0 defeat in the second round of group-stage matches against their neighboring rivals, MBSG managed to regroup and put up a formidable performance against Mumbai City FC.
Expect the final to be an intense affair, with both teams flying high. In comparison to their approach in the previous seasons, East Bengal have looked far more adventurous under the Spanish tactician and never opted to get into a shell. Mohun Bagan will have to be cautious on the break.
