Maiden indian super league

Maiden Indian Super League: Kolkata Giants East Bengal, who have won everything in Indian football except the Indian Super League (ISL), need just a few points to claim their maiden title and will hope to achieve that when they take on Inter Kashi at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Thursday.

After 22 years of waiting for a national top-flight league crown, the Red-and-Gold Brigade enter the final day of the ISL season carrying the hopes, nerves, and expectations of an entire fanbase when they face Inter Kashi.

The fate still hangs in the balance, but for the first time in years, East Bengal find themselves in control of their own destiny. Heading into the final round of the ISL season, the Red-and-Gold Brigade sit at the top of the table with 23 points from 12 matches, ahead of arch-rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant on goal difference. East Bengal have a goal difference of 18 compared to Bagan’s 13.
