    Durand Cup: East Bengal Face Debutants Diamond Harbour FC For A Place In Final

    Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan: As the semifinal stage beckons in Kolkata, a reinvigorated East Bengal will lock horns with tournament debutants Diamond Harbour FC in what promises to be an enthralling semifinal of the 134th Durand Cup at the iconic Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Wednesday.

    East Bengal qualified for the semifinals after their 2-1 quarterfinal derby victory over arch-rivals Mohun Bagan, while debutants Diamond Harbour FC stunned ISL side Jamshedpur FC with a commanding 2-0 victory at Jamshedpur to book their spot in the semifinals.

    Under head coach Oscar Bruzon, East Bengal have transformed from a side that struggled in recent derbies to one brimming with confidence and tactical sharpness. The Spanish tactician, who had yet to win a Kolkata Derby since his appointment, finally broke the jinx against Mohun Bagan and now sets his sights on extending this remarkable journey. Bruzon acknowledges the unique challenge that awaits his team, understanding that Diamond Harbour's fearless approach and tournament momentum make them dangerous opponents.
