ISL 2023-24: Top Stats from East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan game

East Bengal FC are lying on the 10th position with this defeat.

‘Joy Mohun Bagan’ was the (war) cry at the end of the ‘Boro Match’ at the iconic VYBK. The Mariners steamroll past arch rivals East Bengal FC to claim all the three points from the century old Kolkata derby. 

With the virtue of this win, Mohun Bagan claim the top spot in ISL table with a game in hand compared to second place Mumbai City FC who are currently level on 36 points.

Meanwhile, East Bengal FC are lying on the 10th position with this defeat and their fight for the race of playoffs had impacted significantly. Despite the significant investment Carles Cuadrat’s side has been very underwhelming in the league. 

East Bengal set the foot on the pedal earlier on in the game as captain Cleiton Silva was brought down by Vishal Kaith and gave away the penalty to the ‘home’ side.

However, Vishal Kaith made up for his mistake and thwarted the penalty shot by diving on his left to save the penalty. 

What followed was the complete turnaround, Mohun Bagan went on to register 3 quick-fire goals before the half time to give the ‘away’ side an unassailable lead at the half time. 

The hosts came up with a mentality to change the course of the game but could only salvage a goal in the second half which unfortunately wasn’t enough.
