After pre-match pleasantries from the dignitaries, the players shake hands with each other and pose for the squad photos. The exciting Kolkata Derby is underway at the Salt Lake Stadium! The crowd is loud tonight.

A young, unchanged Mohammedan squad are up against the mighty Mariners. Who will come out on top? 90 minutes of frantic Durand Cup action ahead.

MBSG 0-0 MDSC (0')

Mohammedan have started positively in what is a full-strength Mohun Bagan side, knowing that nothing short of a win will suffice for them. However, Mohun Bagan get the first shot through Suhail Bhat, but it causes no trouble to Subhajit.

MBSG 0-0 MDSC (6')

Both sides had chances to score in this end-to-end match. Anirudh Thapa put in a delicious cross from the left flank that found Suhail Bhat in the box. The forward had a half-volley which rattled the top bar and came back.

Mohammedan countered, and Lalthankima had a hopeful shot at goal, which Vishal Kaith could not hold on to. Luckily for Mohun Bagan, it found the defender, who cleared it.

MBSG 0-0 MDSC (11')

The match has settled down a bit. Neither side have been able to carve out clear-cut chances in the last 10 minutes or so. Mohammedan's strategy of playing counter attacking football means that they are soaking in the pressure from MBSG attackers at the moment with every player behind the ball.

MBSG 0-0 MDSC (19')

What about that from Liston Colaco!! An absolutely sublime free-kick from the winger, who got the ball to go over the wall and dip just enough to find the back of the net. No chance for Subhajit.

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (23')

Mariners almost get the second goal through a fluke cross by Kiyan Nassiri. The winger's cross from the right was a poor one, but somehow it floated over everyone and rattled against the top post. Not sure if Subhajit had it covered.

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (27')

Half an hour of play is done, and the first cooling break takes place. It has not been the pretties of games so far, but Liston's free-kick goal has given Mohun Bagan the early advantage.

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (30')

A golden chance for Mohun Bagan goes begging. Colaco finds Thapa with a terrific lobbed pass. With the goal gaping in front of him, Thapa somehow smashes it way over the bar. Bastab Roy can't believe it!

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (37')

Tangva puts in a late hand on Apuia's back, and the midfielder did not like it at all. Apuia seemed to put in a headbutt on Tangva, and MDSC skipper Dinesh steps in.

The referee shows a yellow to the Mohammedan defender, and a STRAIGHT RED to Apuia. Mohun Bagan are down to ten men.

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (44')

Mohammedan SC can't make their numerical advantage count in the first half, as Mohun Bagan hold off against their attacking threats. A long second-half awaits the ISL giants.

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (HT)

An attacking change from Mohammedan as Maxion comes in for Joseph. The second half is underway. Can 10-men Mohun Bagan hold off a desperate Mohammedan SC side?

MBSG 1-0 MDSC (45')

Adison plays the ball to Lalthankima on the right. The winger surprises everyone with a piledriver of a shot from outside the box. Vishal Kaith does well to keep it out, but the rebound falls to the onrushing Ashley Koli, who pokes it into the back of the net. Mehrajuddin Wadoo is jubiliant!

MBSG 1-1 MDSC (50')

Another chance for Mohammedan SC, and it again comes from Vishal Kaith's inability to hold on to the ball. Sajal Bag had a shot from distance that was straight at the goalkeeper, but Kaith spilled it. Adison came rushing in and clashed with Kaith under a good tackle from Dippendu.

Kaith goes down clutching his head, but he should be ok to continue.

MBSG 1-1 MDSC (57')

Calamity for Mohammedan SC, joy for Mohun Bagan! The Black and White Brigade lose the ball in a dangerous position, and Liston Colaco takes the ball and puts in the afterburners. The winger cuts in and finds Suhail Ahmad Bhat with a backpass.

The attacker has a shot with his left foot that is saved by Subhajit, but the rebound falls back to Bhat, who makes no mistake the second time around.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (63')

Despite going down to ten men, Mohun Bagan have more of the ball at the moment. They are trying to slow the tempo of the game, trying to prevent Mohammedan SC from finding any space in their half of the pitch.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (70')

With 15 minutes left to play, the second cooling break takes place. Mehrajuddin Wadoo needs to regroup his side. A reminder that anything short of a win all but ends Mohammedan SC's Durand Cup journey this year.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (75')

Mehrajuddin Wadoo, knowing that time is ticking away for Mohammedan SC, makes a triple change. Saka comes on in place of Adison, Lalrothlanga replaces Lalthankima, and Bamiya enters the pitch in place of the goalscorer Ashley Koli.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (81')

Mohun Bagan are defending deep at the moment, restricting Mohammedan SC to shots from distance. The fourth official indicates a minimum of five minutes to be added on after the end of the ninety minutes.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (90')

In an attempt to win the ball, Suhail Bhat slided in but seemed to only hurt himself. He goes down in pain. The stretcher comes out, but the forward manages to walk out on his feet. Leewan Castanha comes on.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (90+3')

More late drama, and Liston Colaco - by far the best player today - earns a penalty. The forward is played through by Anirudh Thapa, and Colaco is brought down by a late challenge from Dinesh. The referee points to the spot.

MBSG 2-1 MDSC (90+6')

Liston makes no mistake, finding the back of the net with a bullet strike from the spot. Game, set, and match for the Mariners.

MBSG 1-1 MDSC (90+6')

The referee blows his whistle, and the matches comes to an end. It was a statement performance from Mohun Bagan, who outplayed Mohammedan SC despite being a man down for the entire second half.
