The two juggernauts of Indian football, the Bengaluru FC and the Mumbai City FC cross swords to be crowned as the Durand Cup champions for the first time in their history. The enthralling final will unfold on September 18, at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
Both the Indian Super League sides have churned it out hard in the tournament to seal their berth in the finals. The Mumbaikars thumped Mohammedan SC in their semi-final clash, while the Bengaluru FC held onto a slender lead to edge past Hyderbad FC to advance to the finals.
Striker Bipin Singh’s last-minute strike helped Mumbai City to defeat Mohammedan Sporting 1-0. It was a tale of missed opportunities for both clubs in the semi-final and in the end, the solitary goal from their dynamic striker was enough to seal the fate for the Islanders.
Bengaluru qualified for the finals courtesy of an own goal by Hyderabad’s Spanish defender Odei Onaindia Zabala at the half-hour mark. A resolute defensive performance from Bengaluru was enough to take them through to the finals.
