Sat Oct 05 18:36:48 UTC 2024: ## Mohun Bagan Super Giant Dominate Kolkata Derby, Defeating Mohammedan Sporting 3-0
**Kolkata, October 5 (IANS):** Mohun Bagan Super Giant showcased their dominance in the Kolkata derby, securing a resounding 3-0 victory over city rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club in Matchweek 4 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season. The reigning champions displayed impressive attacking prowess, scoring all three goals in the first half to claim their second win of the season and head into the international break on a high.
Australian striker Jamie Maclaren opened the scoring in the eighth minute, heading in a corner from Greg Stewart. Mohun Bagan’s momentum continued as Stewart’s precise free-kick found Subhasish Bose, who powered a header past Mohammedan Sporting’s goalkeeper in the 31st minute. Stewart then added a third goal for himself five minutes later, showcasing his individual brilliance by driving through the midfield and finding the bottom left corner with a venomous strike.
Despite several changes at halftime, Mohammedan Sporting struggled to break down Mohun Bagan’s defense in the second half, while the latter continued to create chances, although failing to add to their lead. The win solidified Mohun Bagan’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the ISL, while Mohammedan Sporting will look to bounce back from their disappointing performance.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant will face another fierce derby clash on October 19, this time against arch-rivals East Bengal. Meanwhile, Mohammedan Sporting will host Kerala Blasters on October 20 as they aim to get their campaign back on track.
