The Story in Brief
Mohun Bagan Super Giant are dominating early possession in their Durand Cup 2026 group stage match against CISF Protectors at the Kishore Bharti Krirangan in Kolkata on Monday. The Mariners have already secured top spot in Group A with two wins, including an 8-0 thrashing of South United and a 1-0 victory over East Bengal.
CISF Protectors, meanwhile, have lost both their previous matches, 0-8 to East Bengal and 0-2 to South United, and are playing for pride. The match kicked off at 4 p.m. with Subhasish Bose leading Mohun Bagan and Mohammad Khalid captaining the CISF side.
The Indian Opinion
Some may dismiss this match as a mismatch between a giant club and a service side, but that misses the point. The Durand Cup has always been about giving every team a stage. The real test for Mohun Bagan will come in the knockout rounds, where CISF's fighting spirit or lack of it should not be the yardstick. Can CISF show enough grit to earn a consolation goal before the final whistle?
