Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Highlights: The two arch-rivals from Kolkata, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, battled in a goalless draw in the AIFF Super Cup on Friday (October 31) at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa.
With the result, East Bengal have advanced to the semifinals of the Super Cup, while the Mariners have crashed out of the competition.
East Bengal come into the derby with confidence following their recent goal-scoring form, having netted six goals in two Super Cup matches. Head coach Óscar Bruzon emphasized an aggressive approach to seek victory rather than settling for a draw. Spanish midfielder Saúl Crespo highlighted the energy and belief returning to the East Bengal squad as they look to avenge their recent penalty shootout loss to Mohun
Bagan in the IFA Shield final.
Mohun Bagan SG, unbeaten so far in the Super Cup but lacking cutting edge upfront, needs a win to progress. Their defense, marshaled by captain Subhasish Bose, has been disciplined but the attack led by Jason Cummings and Jamie Maclaren is yet to hit top form. Head coach Jose Molina remains optimistic despite challenges and stresses fighting for their supporters.
The midfield battle is expected to be crucial, with Mohun Bagan's Apuia and Anirudh Thapa seeking to control the game versus East Bengal's Crespo and Lalchungnunga aiming to disrupt and counter-attack.
