    134th Durand Cup: Debutants Diamond Harbour FC Create History, Reach Final With 2-1 Win Over East Bengal

    Debutants Diamond Harbour FC: Debutants Diamond Harbour FC (DHFC) created history in Indian football, defeating East Bengal 2-1 in the second semifinals of the 134th Durand Cup at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) here on Wednesday.

    Diamond Harbour won courtesy of two second-half strikes from Spanish defender Mikel Idiakez and Kerala forward Joby Justin, respectively. Anwar Ali had drawn parity for the Red & Golds moments after Idiakez’s spectacular back-volley had given the Diamonds the lead. They now take on defending champions NorthEast United FC in the grand finale on Saturday (August 23).

    Celebrated DHFC coach Kibu Vicuna began with a three-man defence line and four attackers, while Carlos Bruzon of East Bengal left only Greek forward Dimitrios Diamantakos upfront, in a move that seemed to have paid the former dividends.
