CFL 2024: East Bengal Win Season's First Kolkata Derby 2-1
Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Second-half goals by Vishnu P.V. and Jesin T.K. powered East Bengal FC to a 2-1 win over archrivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the season's first derby in a Group B fixture of the Calcutta Football League 2024 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Saturday.
Emami East Bengal's Debjit Majumder, Hira Mondal, Vishnu PV, and David Lalhlansanga made their first starts of the season. Despite creating multiple chances, the Red & Golds were unable to break the deadlock in the first half. After the first half ended goalless, EEB's Adil Amal and Md Roshal made way for Sarthak Golui and Sayan Banerjee at the start of the second half.
It took the Red & Golds only six minutes in the second half to find the opener as Vishnu, who earlier missed the target by an inch in the 21st minute, received a long ball from Sarthak Golui from the centre line and dribbled past two opposition defenders to slot the ball in.
