HALF TIME: East Bengal 1-2 Mohun Bagan
East Bengal have scored a crucial goal just before the break. The second half should be interesting.
GOAL!!!!! East Begal have pulled one back in the added time.
It's a freak goal. The Bagan goalkeeper could not collect a header cleanly. the ball bounced off Acosta to get inside the goal.
Free Kick for East Bengal! However, Bagan defenders put it out easily.
Mohun Bagan are the side with more chances right now. Abhishek tries to put it in the EB box from the left but his shot sails over the post.
Ouch- That's gonna hurt!

Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a superb strike from Pintu Mahata. Hats off!!! A superb attack from Mohun Bagan. Pintu takes full use of brilliant pass from Arijit. East Bengal goalie had no chance.!! 1-0 for Mohun Bagan after 19th minute.
Good freekick from East Bengal. Acosta tries to connect but only manages to collide with goal-keeper. On the other side, a good strike from Mohun Bagan's Dipanda goes slightly out of the framework. Weak Henry shot too easily saved. Still goalless.
0-0 so far after 10 minutes. Mohun Bagan definitely enjoying better parts of the exchange.
Early exchange slightly favouring Mohun Bagan so far. Henry took a brilliant freekick and superbly saved by Rakshit.
East Bengal : Dagar (GK), Samas, Mehtab , Acosta, Lalramchullova, Laldanmawia, Kamalpreet, Aidara, Kassim, Brandon, Al-Amna, Justin
Mohun Bagan : Shilton Paul (GK), Arijit , Kingsley, Lalchawnkima, Ambekar, Britto, Pintu, Sourav Das, Shilton de Silva, Dipanda, Henry
Mohun Bagan playing unchanged XI. Only one change for East Bengal, Acosta playing for red and gold brigade.
It has rained heavily in Kolkata today. The ground will be heavy and whoever controls the midfield is likely to have the edge.
Preview
Kolkata arch rivals East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are facing off for the first time this season, in the Calcutta Football League. The match will start at 4.30 PM and will be held at Yuva Bharati Krirangan, in Salt Lake Kolkata. Mohun Bagan coached by Shankarlal Chakraborty will be desperate to break East Bengal's stranglehold over Calcutta Football League. The red and gold brigade have won the title for eight times in a row now and will be favourites to lift the trophy again if they can get better of their traditional rivals on Sunday. The only problem is, East Bengal hasn't defeated Mohun Bagan in their last six outings.
The point was made by East Bengal Technical Director Subhas Bhowmick who said that they will be looking to break the streak. There has been huge interest to watch this first derby of the season with mad scramble among fans to get tickets. One big reason is that East Bengal's Costa Rican World Cupper Johnny Acosta will be making his debut. Other players to look out for are Kamalpreet Singh and Al Amna among the East Bengal stars.
For Mohun Bagan, the top billings are for Dicka, Kingsley and Shilton.
On paper, East Bengal are slight favourites, but as any old Kolkata football veteran will say, it is always 50-50 in a derby. At the end, it may well be a case of Mohun Bagan forward line versus the East Bengal defence.
