Asia’s oldest football tournament returns to where it began four weeks ago as East Bengal FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant meet once more at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Sunday for the final of the 135th Durand Cup. The kick-off is scheduled for 17:00 IST. The Kolkata Derby needs no introduction, yet the circumstances of this renewal lend it an extra edge: Mohun Bagan won the opening match of the tournament, and East Bengal have spent the intervening weeks seeking a way to reverse that result when it matters most, according to a release.

Mohun Bagan SG start season with 1-0 win over East Bengal in Durand Cup

Sahal Abdul Samad’s 52nd minute strike and some dogged defending towards the end of the match helped Mohun Bagan Super Giant beat East Bengal in the opening match of the 2026 Durand Cup at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday. In what was an end-to-end game, Samad turned in the ball after it was squared to him by Kiyan Nassiri from the right to put Bagan ahead.

East Bengal attacked with everything they had and Vishal Kaith pulled off a couple of big saves to keep Bagan’s lead intact. Both sides are being led by new coaches, althought East Bengal’s Antonio Lopez Habas knows all about the intensity of this fixture as he coached Bagan for a number of seasons in the past. Panagiotis Dilmperis, on the other hand, has coached Punjab FC for the past two seasons and so has been in India long enough to know that there are no dead rubbers or friendly matches when it comes to Kolkata derbies. He celebrated the result like he won the Durand Cup itself.
