Mohun Bagan V East Bengal: Century-old Rivals Set For A Kalinga Clash In A Must-win Game
Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Neck and neck in the Group A points table, arch-rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal FC are set to battle each other for one spot in the Kalinga Super Cup 2024 semi-final here at the Kalinga Stadium on Friday.
The two teams with a history of a century-old rivalry have six points each and are also level on goal difference (+2), but East Bengal have the slight edge on goals scored, which means a draw will do for Carles Cuadrat’s side as they chase their first semi-final appearance in the Kalinga Super Cup since the inaugural edition in 2018.
However, the Spaniard stated that his team are only fighting for a win. "Both teams must be very motivated. We know in football that when you’re looking for a draw, you finally end up losing the game. So, for us, it’s about winning. No question about that." said Cuadrat in the pre-match press conference.
