Overview
- The Group A decider in Fatorda finished 0-0, sending East Bengal through and eliminating Mohun Bagan.
- Both teams ended on six points, but East Bengal topped the group on goal difference built by Tuesday’s 4-0 win over Chennaiyin FC.
- East Bengal’s best chance saw Bipin Singh head against the post, while Mohun Bagan’s second-half pressure was repelled by Anwar Ali and a set-piece wall.
- Earlier in Bambolim, Dempo and Chennaiyin drew 1-1, leaving Dempo third on three points and rendering complex tiebreak scenarios irrelevant.
- Across four meetings this season, East Bengal now have two wins, Mohun Bagan one, and one draw, after the Mariners’ IFA Shield shootout win earlier this month.
