    Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan: East Bengal FC edged past a gritty Namdhari FC side 1-0 in a tense Group A clash at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Wednesday, moving within touching distance of a place in the knockout stages of the 134th Durand Cup.

    The victory, powered by debutant Hamid Ahadad’s second-half strike, was the Kolkata giant’s second win on the trot and took them to the top of the group standings.

    Making his first appearance for the Red and Gold brigade, Moroccan forward Ahadad came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 68th minute, finally breaking through a wall of Namdhari resistance and a string of heroic saves by goalkeeper Niraj Kumar.
