ISL 2024-25: Kolkata Derby Sways In Mohun Bagan's Favour With 2-0 Win Over East Bengal FC
Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Jamie Maclaren and Dimitrios Petratos scored a goal each as Mohun Bagan Super Giant pipped arch-rivals East Bengal FC 2-0 in a high-octane Kolkata Derby in Matchweek 5 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Saturday. Mohun Bagan Super Giant controlled the tempo of the match from start to finish, as Maclaren and Petratos scored in either half, which was enough for Jose Molina’s men to secure their eighth win against the Red & Gold Brigade in ISL.
The players took their time to settle into the electrifying atmosphere of 60,000-odd fans buzzing at the stadium. It was a tight start, with both teams wrestling for the authority in midfield. However, the first chance fell to Maclaren in the 18th minute when Greg Stewart found the Australian with a beautiful cross.
However, Prabhsukhan Gill brilliantly denied Maclaren from point-blank range. A minute later, Mohun Bagan Super Giant had the ball in the back of the net from a corner but the goal was chalked off as Manvir Singh was flagged offside.
