The young boys in Green and Maroon have played well as a unit and creating multiple goal-scoring opportunities in all of their matches.

SAIL Burnpur, on the other hand, were completely demolished by East Bengal in their inaugural match of the IFA Shield. They lost 1-6 to the Red and Golds, meaning that they would have to give it their all for resurgence in their next two. That is exactly what they did!

Mohun Bagan vs SAIL Burnpur promises to be a good contest as both the teams' players are brimming with confidence on the back of wins. Whichever team emerges on top in this semifinal clash will go on to face East Bengal in the summit clash.
