    Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Vishal Kaith turned hero, pulling off two crucial saves in the penalty shootout to send Mohun Bagan Super Giant into the final of the 135th Durand Cup as the Mariners prevailed 4-3 on penalties against NorthEast United after the second semifinal ended 0-0 in regulation time at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong on Thursday.

    Mohun Bagan Super Giant will now face arch-rivals East Bengal FC in a Kolkata Derby final on Sunday.
