ISL 2024-25: First-half Blitz Helps Mohun Bagan Ease Past Mohammedan SC In Kolkata Derby
Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan: Mohun Bagan Super Giant defeated city rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club by 3-0 in Matchweek 4 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Saturday. Three first-half goals from the Mariners courtesy of Jamie Maclaren, Subhasish Bose and Greg Stewart saw the reigning champions return to winning ways before heading into the international break.
The first Kolkata Derby of the ISL season started with the expected intensity with both teams trying to exert their command in the middle to take charge of the proceedings. However, the Mariners struck first through their Australian forward Jamie Maclaren in the eighth minute. The goal came from a corner as Maclaren headed it past Padam Chhetri in goal after Stewart glided the ball in his path in the eighth minute.
Buoyed by the early goal, Jose Molina’s men showed exceptional drive as they pressed Mohammedan Sporting and forced them to make errors in midfield. Mohun Bagan Super Giant kept pushing for more goals as they showed impeccable fluidity between their attacking quartet of Liston Colaco, Manvir Singh, Maclaren and Stewart.
