East Bengal had 8 shots on goal compared to 7 from Mohun Bagan. Both the teams had 5 shots on goal but what matters is the two goals that the Mariners managed to score.

The Red and Gold have been miserable when it comes to putting their chances away and that came back to haunt them today.

This also means East Bengal will end the season without any silverware at the national stage. They began the I-League so well riding on the wave of positivity brought in by Trevor Morgan's appointment.

But it all began to fall away in the middle before they defeated Bengaluru and looked like they had it in them to go all the way. However, their wheels fell off late on and the defeat to Mohun Bagan in the second leg was the final nail in the coffin.

And the final whistle blows.

Mohun Bagan win their second consecutive Kolkata Derby and this one ensures that Bagan book a place in the final where they will take on Bengaluru FC who defeated I-League champions 1-0 earlier today.

90+4' - Gurwinder with a ball ahead for Robin Singh.

But Eduardo there again to head that away from danger.

90+3' - The crackers have started to burst here at the stadium and EB seems to have lost all heart now.

90+2' - MB with their last change.

Souvik OUT! Bikramjit IN!

90+2' - Ball in from Jairu and Yusa clears at the near post.

Bagan launch a counter of their own it's Jeje up their all alone. Katsumi finally provides an overlap but Jeje elects to come back in from the right and his shot off of his left foot is deflected and out for a corner.

90+1' - PLAZAAA!!

Great run from the EB forward. He tries to play in Robin Singh. But Anas slides in. Out for a corner.

Four minutes added on.

90' - Balwant Singh, the best player in the game comes off.

Jeje Lalpekhlua IN! Balwant Singh OUT!

89' - Crossfield ball from left to the right looking for Wedson Anselme. But Kotal is there and finally Prabir Das helps to clear the lines.

88' - Bagan has no hurry in taking that. Katsumi comes and then Sony from the opposite flank.

They waste some precious seconds there before Norde is flagged offside.

86' - In between all the delirium Prabir Das has come in and he gets Bagan a free kick as he is shoved in the back by Narayan Das.

84' - MB SCORE!! AND THAT SHOULD BE GAME OVER!! AND WHAT A GOAL!!

Duffy with an excellent interception. He goes down the right and then cuts back to Katsumi. The skipper finds Sehnaj who plays in Yusa with a delightful ball.

Yusa waits and plays in a cross. Little behind Balwant but the forward sorts his body out and hits that on the fly and on the volley - his body parallel to the ground.

83' - EB ON THE FRONT FOOT!

The Red and Gold attack down the right!! Another long throw.

81' - EB THREATEN AGAIN!

Jairu with another great ball from the right. It's for Wedson in the back post. He rises above Kotal but his header back into the box is blocked by Eduardo.

80' - Bagan on the other end.

That attack leads to a Bagan break led by Sony Norde. He breaks down the left and then finds Balwant in the middle. He has Katsumi on the right totally free but instead, he goes for a shot.

And that is tame and into hands of Subhashis.

79' - SAVE OF THE TOURNAMENT?!

Ball in from the right on the left from Jairu. Plaza finally gets his head to it and keeps it on target but Debjit with a fantastic save to keep it 1-0.

78' - Bagan on the other side. Balwant into Katsumi and he goes to Kotal to swing in a cross but Narayan Das with a great block.

77' - Route 1 football from East Bengal.

They have the big men in now and Plaza heads it forward for Robin Singh to run into. But Anas is there to shepherd into the hands of the onrushing Debjit.

76' - PLAZA WIDE AGAIN!

Jairu's ball in into the far post. Plaza rises the highest again but can't get a proper connect.

75' - GREAT BALL IN!!

Into the far post this time but no EB player charging for this. Anas heads it clear for a corner.

74' - Anselme AGAIN!

Anselme with another great run. This time down the left. Goes past Kotal like he wasn't even there and then Sehnaj comes into foul him

73' - Finally play is underway. But Debjit can't take the free kick. Launches it forward looking for Balwant.
