The Indian Super League (ISL) heats up as Mohun Bagan Super Giant prepares to face NorthEast United FC at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Monday. This clash holds significant weight as both teams strive to make their mark early in the season. For Mohun Bagan, the match presents an opportunity to secure their first ISL victory after a disappointing start. Despite winning the ISL Shield last season, they struggled to maintain their momentum, squandering a two-goal lead against Mumbai City FC in their opening fixture. Their recent Durand Cup final encounter with NorthEast United also ended in a 2-2 draw after they relinquished a two-goal advantage, ultimately losing in a penalty shootout.
NorthEast United, on the other hand, enters the match with a strong sense of confidence after their Durand Cup triumph. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams are hungry for a win. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM IST at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium). Football enthusiasts can catch the live action on the Sports18 network and via live streaming on the Jio Cinema app and website.
