Referee blows the final whistle and East Bengal have managed to steal three points away from their arch rivals. Jeje will rue this missed chance for the rest of his life.

10 minutes left on the clock. East Bengal lead 2-0

74' GOOOOOAAAAAAAALLL!!!!! Do Dong Hyun makes amends for an earlier miss. This time he fools Debnath by latching on to a loose ball in  the box and then takes aim and scores past Debjit with his weaker right foot. He takes off his read and Gold jersey. East Bengal fans in the gallery have lit up their torches. Red and Golds are back in the title race

72' Pronoy Halder tries to go for goal from a long way out, but his shot is off target

71' Jeje is fouled by Sehnaj

69' Sehnaj Singh to substitute Cavin Lobo for East Bengal

63' SAVED! Cornel gets lucky and finds an open netting, he fires a rasping shot which is cleared from the goal line by the experienced Bello Rassaq. That was magical. A sure shot opportunity missed

60' WHAT A MISS! Do Dong Hyun misses a absolute sitter. Ranti Martins guides a scorching header towards MB goal, which is saved by a diving Debjit but the rebound falls to an unmarked Do Dong and his left footed shot hits side netting. The Korean had the whole goal to aim at but he couldn't keep the shot on target

56' Harakiri in MB box as Sabrosa and Debjit are left confused about who would take control of a lofted ball, in the end, Debjit somehow manages to avert danger from a lurking Mendy by collecting the ball

WHAT AN ESCAPE! Cornel Glen scores a beauty but the lines man had judged him off side just a few seconds earlier. However TV replays show that the Bagan player was in line with the East Bengal defender

47' Katsumi gets into the EB box from the left and manages to secure a corner as the ball rebounds off Barreto's feet and goes out of bounds

Mohun Bagan assistant coach Shankarlal Chakraborty was sent off in the first half for showing dissent against the referee

The second half starts and Katsumi Yusa is immediately fouled by Bheke. That should have been a booking

Bagan players revolt against the referee for awarding East Bengal the penalty. However, the official sends them to the dressing room

Referee blows the half time whistle and East Bengal lead Mohun Bagan by one goal to none.

45+2' A very well taken free kick is floated in from the right and Barreto gets finger tips to it but fails to grasp the ball as it falls to Kingsukh, who inexplicably heads in the opposite direction of the goal. Chance missed

45+1' Glen toppled by Rassaq on the edge of EB box. MB get a free kick.

43' East Bengal 1-0 Mohun Bagan

GOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Do Dong Hyun entrusted with the job of taking the penalty has given East Bengal the lead. He stays calm and goes straight down the middle as Debjit dives to his left. What a memorable comeback for the Korean

Penalty for East Bengal as Luciano pulls down Ranti Martins inside the box

34' Mohun Bagan survive a series of attacks from the Red and Golds. First Bernard Mendy gets a chance to head in a cross from left, his effort is foiled by Luciano Sabrosa. Ranti tries his luck from inside the box but his shot is cleared to safety by the Mariner's defence

Do Dong Hyun replaces Abhinas Ruidas for East Bengal

15' Mendy plays the ball into Ranti's path but before the striker could prove to be dangerous, the ball is taken off the feet of Ranti
