ISL 2025-26: Ezzejjari’s Brace Helps East Bengal Overcome NorthEast United
Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan: A brace of goals within six minutes in the second half by Youssef Ezzejari and an injury-time strike by Miguel Ferreira guided East Bengal FC to a 3-0 win against NorthEast United FC in Match 6 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season, played at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Monday.
Óscar Bruzón started Jeakson Singh alongside Anwar Ali in the centre of the defence, with Lalchungnunga shifted to the right-back position and Jay Gupta starting on the left flank. Juan Pedro Benali gave a start to Parthib Gogoi to lead the attack for NorthEast United, with Jithin M.S. and Jairo Samperio supporting the youngster.
East Bengal were quick off the blocks and put some early pressure on the NorthEast backline, pressing them high up the pitch, which led to some misplaced passes in the midfield. The wingbacks of East Bengal pushed up high up the pitch to provide support for Bipin Singh and Nandha Kumar on either wing.
