CFL 2024, Kolkata Derby: 10-Man East Bengal Triumph Over Mohun Bagan as PV Vishnu Steals The Show
In a much-anticipated encounter at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, East Bengal edged past arch-rivals Mohun Bagan with a 2-1 victory in the Kolkata Derby, climbing to the second spot in Group B of the Calcutta Football League 2024.
The match, filled with drama and intensity, saw East Bengal securing their first derby win of the season, leaving Mohun Bagan languishing in the bottom three.
The match kicked off with both teams showing cautious optimism. The first half saw end-to-end action but remained goalless, with East Bengal creating more threatening opportunities.
PV Vishnu was particularly active, missing a close-range shot after a defense-splitting pass from Aman CK. Mohun Bagan's defense held firm but their attacking efforts were thwarted by a resolute East Bengal backline.
The second half, however, brought the game to life. In the 50th minute, PV Vishnu opened the scoring with a brilliant individual effort, dribbling past two defenders and firing the ball into the net, leaving the Mohun Bagan goalkeeper with no chance. This goal gave East Bengal the momentum, and they continued to press their advantage.
In the 65th minute, a defensive error from Mohun Bagan gifted East Bengal their second goal. Aman CK capitalised on a poor back pass, setting up Jesin TK, who tapped the ball into the net.
The Red and Gold Brigade looked to be cruising to victory, but the match took a dramatic turn in the 77th minute when East Bengal's right-back Joseph Justin was shown a second yellow card, reducing his team to ten men.
Mohun Bagan, sensing an opportunity, intensified their efforts. In the dying moments of the game, Suhail Ahmad Bhat gave Mohun Bagan a glimmer of hope with a glancing header in the 96th minute, making it 2-1. However, East Bengal's defense held firm in the final seconds, ensuring they emerged victorious.
East Bengal's goalkeeper Debjit Majumder was instrumental, making crucial saves and even receiving a yellow card for time-wasting in the final moments. PV Vishnu's performance earned him the Man of the Match award, highlighting his crucial role in securing the victory.
With this win, East Bengal moved up to second place, continuing their strong start to the season with back-to-back third win. Mohun Bagan, on the other hand, remained in a precarious position, needing to regroup and strategise for the upcoming matches.
The Kolkata Derby once again lived up to its reputation, providing football fans with a captivating display of skill, strategy, and sheer determination. East Bengal's supporters will savor this victory, while Mohun Bagan will look to bounce back in their next outing.
