**Kolkata, India** – Mohun Bagan Super Giant secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over NorthEast United FC on Monday night, overcoming two deficits to exact revenge on the Durand Cup champions in a pulsating Indian Super League clash at the Salt Lake Stadium. The win provides much-needed relief for the Mariners, who have faced a series of disappointing results in recent weeks.

The match exploded into life early, with three goals in the opening 24 minutes. Mohammed Ali Bemammer (5th minute) and Alaeddine Ajaraie (24th minute) put NorthEast United in the lead twice, but Dippendu Biswas scored his maiden ISL goal in the 10th minute to tie the score.

Despite squandering a two-goal lead in the Durand Cup final, Mohun Bagan fought back with Subhasish Bose’s controversial goal in the 61st minute. Substitute Jason Cummings then sealed the victory with a decisive strike in the 87th minute, securing the first win for last season’s League Shield winners.

The victory comes as a significant boost for Mohun Bagan manager Jose Molina, who faced ‘Go Back’ chants at the same venue on Wednesday during their draw in the AFC Cup. The win puts them on four points from two matches, while NorthEast United sits at three points.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions with both teams displaying attacking intent. NorthEast United took the lead early, but Mohun Bagan quickly responded. The Mariners, however, found themselves trailing again after a brilliant counter-attacking goal from Ajaraie.

The second half saw Mohun Bagan ramp up the pressure after bringing on Sahal Abdul Samad and Jason Cummings. Bose’s controversial goal, which was met with protests from NorthEast United, brought the score level again.

In the end, it was Cummings who delivered the decisive blow, smashing home a first-time finish after Sahal’s perfect cross. The victory signifies a turnaround in fortunes for Mohun Bagan, who will be looking to build on this momentum in the coming matches.
