**Kolkata, India** – Mohun Bagan Super Giant secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over NorthEast United FC in a pulsating Indian Super League clash at the Salt Lake Stadium on Monday. The match saw a rollercoaster of emotions, with both teams exchanging blows and coming back from deficits to keep the crowd on the edge of their seats.
The first half saw a frenetic pace with three goals scored in the opening 24 minutes. NorthEast United took an early lead through a powerful strike from Moroccan midfielder Mohammed Ali Bemammer in the 5th minute. Mohun Bagan quickly responded, equalizing in the 10th minute with a looping header from Dippendu Biswas, marking his first ISL goal.
However, NorthEast United regained the lead in the 24th minute with a stunning counter-attacking goal. Alaeddine Ajaraie, another Moroccan forward, found the back of the net with a clinical finish, putting the Durand Cup champions back in control.
The second half saw Mohun Bagan step up their game, spurred by the introduction of substitutes Sahal Abdul Samad and Jason Cummings. The Mariners equalized in the 61st minute through a controversial goal from Subhasish Bose, who capitalized on a mistake by NorthEast United goalkeeper Gurmeet Singh.
The match continued to be a tense affair with both teams desperately seeking a winner. Finally, in the 87th minute, Jason Cummings delivered the decisive blow, finishing off a perfect low cross from Sahal Abdul Samad to secure the first win for last season’s League Shield winners.
This victory serves as a much-needed boost for Mohun Bagan, who had faced a string of disappointing results, including a penalty shootout loss to NorthEast United in the Durand Cup final. It also brings relief to manager Jose Molina, who had faced criticism in recent matches.
With this win, Mohun Bagan now have four points from two matches, while NorthEast United have three.
