East Bengal came back in the second half with a changed spirit. The hosts played a more attacking brand of football however, were unable to get past the deadlock of the Mohun Bagan defenders. The East Bengal frontline was delivered some cutting edge passes from the defense and the midfield but the hosts could not cope with the pressure and were unable to finish the chances. Mohun Bagan on the other hands performed an exceptional defensive skill in the second half, deploying which they finally stole one point from this season's first derby. Logging out from the Kanchenjunga stadium, see you in the next match. Good night.

The first half of the Kolkata derby was merely a show of strength for both the teams. However, moments of some special performances were displayed by the teams but both were unable to finish the chances and take the lead for themselves. Both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan did well in the frontlines, however, the defense looked leaky and brittling at moments as both the Kolkata giants kept bombarding the opposition box.

04:10 pm Mohun Bagan will be depending hugely upon their marquee player Sony Norde to win the match. Norde has proved himself to be a leadership character in the past two seasons for Mohun Bagan, however, the Haitian has never scored against East Bengal in the Kolkata Derby.
