Kolkata Derby: Bagan, East Bengal eye Super Cup semifinal berth
In a season largely devoid of men’s top-flight football, the Kolkata derby has emerged as Indian domestic football’s saving grace — with packed stands, flares, and raucous chants lighting up every encounter between Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal, whether in the Durand Cup or the IFA Shield.
The third iteration of this high-voltage clash between the senior sides takes place on Friday at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa, with a semifinal berth in the AIFF Super Cup on the line.
Bagan enters the contest under scrutiny after a goalless draw against lower-division side Dempo SC, but head coach Jose Molina remains confident, insisting his side can replicate the success of the IFA Shield final victory over their age-old rivals.
