45' THREE MINUTES ADDED ON
So, 180 seconds to change the halftime team talk for both teams. 3 minutes in football is a long time and given how quick this game has been, it won't be a surprise if we get a goal that changes the equation entirely. East Bengal are still in the driver's seat.

43' WHAT A MATCH THIS HAS BEEN SO FAR
The scoreline does not do justice to the game. From a series of East Bengal attacks from Rashid, Bipin and Edmund to SC Delhi getting a penalty, Gill saving a penalty from Rodriguinho. What a match this has been truly been so far.

41' END TO END NOW. SC DELHI ARE BACK
What looked like a one-sided affair is now an end-to-end drama. Both SC Delhi and East Bengal are going all in to get the first goal. Both teams are showing that urgency to score. What a match we have had so far.

37' Was that Penalty for East Bengal?
East Bengal are back again, attacking and going all in. Edmund takes an acrobatic bicycle kick, and Manoj Mohammed knocks it on his shin. It was definitely a dangerous foul, but the referee did not seem interested in awarding a penalty.

34' PRABSUKHAN GILL SAVESSSSS THE PENALTY
Wow, just wow from Gill. The second-highest goalscorer in the Durand Cup 2026, Rodriguinho, fails to convert it from the spot. The stuttering penalty move did not work for the Brazilian, as Gill guessed it correctly and saved it. No goals yet,

32' SC DELHI AWARDED PENALTY
Just how fast the night changes. A brilliant pass from Joseph Sunny and East Bengal's defender makes a horrible foul on Rodriguinho, who gets the man and not the ball and the referee points it to the spot

29' DRINKS BREAK
Well, it has been all East Bengal so far. Edmund, Rashid and Bipin came so very close to scoring but Nora has done to keep it 0-0 after the first quarter.

27' East Bengal had a heartbreak in Semis in 2025
The Red and Gold Brigade faced a big shock after Diamond Harbour knocked them out in the semis last season. They have started the game well but the scoreline remains 0-0 and Antonio Lopez Habas would hope that changes soon.

25' A bit too casual from Anwar
Anwar Ali made a back pass that could have been costly for East Bengal. A nervy moment for East Bengal and Gill between the sticks stayed alert

22' It's Red and Golden jerseys everywhere
22 minutes into the game and it has just been East Bengal, who have made all the attacks and created the best chances. It could easily have been 2-0 atleast for East Bengal had they converted those chances. Tomas Tchorz has a lot to worry about as it has been a one way traffic so far.

16' Rashid hits the crossbar
That would have been an absolute wonder goal had that gone in. A terrific strike from the former Bali United midfielder, who almost made it 1-0 from the spot kick. Nora Fernandes was very well beaten but the ball hits the crossbar

SC Delhi have conceded first twice in Durand Cup 2026
SC Delhi have been brilliant in turning things around, but taking the lead first hasn't been easy for Delhi. They have conceded first against Jamshedpur FC and Raengdai in the quarterfinals. Given how East Bengal are knocking on the door, it seems likely that they might trail again.

RASHID COULD HAVE DONE BETTER
A brilliant pass from Bipin from the right wing, but the Palestinian midfielder did not have the best first touch, and SC Delhi are walking on thin ice now.

EAST BENGAL SHOWING EARLY INTENT
It's just few minutes in the clock and East Bengal almost made it 1-0. Bipin got a brilliant cross, who failed to bury that into the net. East Bengal looking dangerous from the very first minute.

East Bengal will lock horns against Sporting Delhi in semifinal 1 of 2026 Durand Cup at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) Stadium, Kolkata on August 19, 2026, Wednesday at 7 pm (IST). Both the sides will look to edge past each other to secure their Grand Finale ticket.
A great opportunity for both teams, as both of them have played brilliant football in the group stage games and not only that, but a vital point would also be the form of the two sides, as SC Delhi come into the game in a very positive manner after thrashing FC Raengdai 5-1, while East Bengal FC will look to continue their winning momentum on one of the biggest stages and move a step closer to winning their 17th Durand Cup title, while maintaining their century-old legacy.

The Stakes
East Bengal FC
Courtesy: Durand Cup MediaEast Bengal are coming into this match on the back of a 1-0 victory against Indian Army FT in the quarterfinals of the Durand Cup 2026.
East Bengal didnât play their perfect game against Indian Army, but PV Vishnuâs solitary goal was enough for them to seal the deal. They missed a few easy chances, while Phurba Lachenpa of the Red and Gold Brigade made some crucial saves between the posts to maintain a clean sheet in the quarter-final match.
However, the players looked a bit tired after playing three back-to-back matches within a span of 10 days, including an AFC Champions League Two playoff and Durand Cup matches.
As a result, head coach Antonio Lopez Habas, speaking in the post-match press conference after the quarter-final match, termed this kind of rigorous scheduling in Indian football âstupidâ and believes it will only worsen the quality of football in India in the coming days.
East Bengal were able to maintain their defensive discipline and played attacking football under their new head coach Antonio Lopez Habas. Now, the challenge for the Torchbearers is to maintain the winning consistency if they really want to dominate their way into winning the Durand Cup championship.
This is a knockout match and a must-win as well, SC Delhi will not be an easy opponent for the Red and Gold Brigade and the task ahead is daunting and tough.
A dominating win for East Bengal will not only help them to seal their spot in the final for the 27th time but also further improve the belief in Habasâ system â but a loss or draw in the must-win game can be an unnecessary setback for the club before the ACL Two group stage fixtures and the new Indian Super League (ISL) season.
Sporting Club Delhi
Group-C Matches between Delhi SC-VS-Defenders FC during the Indian Oil Durand Cup at Birsa Munda Football Stadium, Ranchi, India 7,August,2026Photo by Shubhajit Roy Karmakar/Durand CupSC Delhi have maintained their attractive brand of football in the competition, while some excellent additions have bolstered the team and helped them develop a solid core to compete in future championships.
They beat Jamshedpur FC earlier in their group stage match, and then they surpassed the Sri Lankan side with a thrashing victory of 7-0, and the Indian Air Force FT with another thrashing victory of 7-1.
They are coming into this match on the back of a 5-1 victory against FC Raengdai in the Durand Cup Quarter Final and now they will eye a commanding win over East Bengal FC in the Semi Final of the Durand Cup which will ensure them a spot in the grand finale on their debut appearance in one of the prestigious and oldest tournament of Asia.
Team News
East Bengalâs new Spanish defender, Nacho Monsalve, is injured and will probably miss the match. PV Vishnu is also injured and will miss the semifinal as well. Other than that, East Bengal have a fully fit squad.
SC Delhi should have a fully fit unit available for their upcoming game.
