Durand Cup 2023 Final: A 10-man Mohun Bagan side beat East Bengal 1-0 in the Durand Cup final at the Vivekanada Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Sunday (September 3, 2023). Dimitros Petratos scored the only goal in the 71st minute to give MBSG a famous win over their city rivals.
Neither team could break the deadlock in an exciting first half, in which EB's Nandhakumar Sekar and MB's Petratos went close to scoring. There were four yellow cards in added time of the first half as the match became ill-tempered. Anirudh Thapa was sent off for a second yellow, but Dimitros Petratos made it 1-0 for 10-man MB in the 71st minute.
