The stage was set for a fiery Kolkata Derby under Goan skies, but what unfolded at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda was a tense tactical stalemate. East Bengal FC held Mohun Bagan Super Giant to a goalless draw on Friday, October 31, 2025, a result that carried more weight than flair, as it sealed East Bengal’s passage into the AIFF Super Cup 2025-26 semi-finals from Group A.

Both sides finished level on five points apiece, but Oscar Bruzón’s East Bengal advanced thanks to their superior goal difference, the reward for their earlier 4-0 demolition of Chennaiyin FC. Mohun Bagan’s 0-0 draw with Dempo SC on Tuesday ultimately proved costly, while Dempo’s 1-1 draw against Chennaiyin earlier in the day meant they were out of contention.
