Durand Cup 2023 QF: Mohun Bagan 3-1 Mumbai City at Full Time — Highlights
42' - Penalty calls turned down
Penalty calls turned down on either side. First, Sahal Sabdul Samad gets an elbow in the face from Mehtab Singh. Overlooked. At the other end, Greg Stewart is pulled down on the edge of the box. After the foul is not given, Greg Stewart lashes out at the referee and gets an yellow card himself. Injustice cancelling itself out there.
37' - Mohun Bagan have some nervy moments
Mohun Bagan's defence going through some nervy moments as the marauding Bipin is blocked out by a last-moment clearance by Anwar. Mohun Bagan demand an yellow card for Mehtab Singh for an intentional handball, but instead the referee hands the card to Sahal Abdul Samad for asking for the card.
31' - Manvir Singh gets Mohun Bagan back in lead, MBSG 2-1 MCFC
Mohun Bagan score! They're back in the lead. Sahal delivers the corner, Boumous collects it at the far side of the box and delivers another cross. Manvir Singh rises above the rest. It's 2-1 to Mohun Bagan! Not a moment to breathe here.
28' - Pereyria Diaz scores, MBSG 1-1 MCFC
Bipin's ball finds no Mumbai City attacker in the box. Manvir Singh runs back to retrieve. At the moment, it seems as if Mohun Bagan are showing more desire to get into the next round. Mumbai hesitant to commit numbers.
Bipin, Jason Stewart, Noguera and Pereyra look to open the Mohun Bagan defence. The home team's defence sits too deep and they have been split open. It's Pereyra Diaz who finishes to level scores at 1-1.
21' - Mumbai's attacking sting develops
Mumbai City FC build some momentum in midfield. Greg Stewart trying to play more of the orchestrator's role as MCFC enjoy their best period of possession.
13' - Ashique, Jason Cummings combine
Ashique Kuruniyan and Jason Cummings combine on the left again to run rings around Mumbai. Rahul Bheke given an yellow card for a late tackle on Ashique.
Boumous puts in a dangerous ball into the box, which Lachenpa fumbles. Mumbai City all tied up in knots.
10'- Jason Cummings scores! MBSG 1-0 MCFC
Jason Cummings scores! A left footer smashed into the top corner and the Kolkata cauldron goes into raptures.
Mohun Bagan take 1-0 lead within 10 minutes.
7' - Mohun Bagan win a penalty!
The two superstar midfields cancelling each other out in the opening stages. Hugo Boumous and Lallianzuala Chhangte among the biggest movers right now.
Pereyra Diaz runs into the MB defence, and Hector Yuste is needed to block him out.
At the other end, Jason Cummings wins a penalty as the goalkeeper crashes into the forward without making contact with the ball. A well-earned penalty. What an early break for Mohun Bagan!
2' - Both teams feel each other out
We begin on an overcast evening at the VYBK. Mumbai vs Mohun Bagan. The two most star-studded teams in the Durand Cup without doubt.
