What Happened in the Last Kolkata Derby: Durand Cup 2026 Final
The last time these two rivals met on a big stage, sparks flew at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan. East Bengal produced a ruthless display to thrash Mohun Bagan Super Giant 4-1 in the Durand Cup 2026 final on August 23, ending a 22-year wait for the historic trophy and drawing level with their rivals on 17 titles apiece.
Edmund Lalrindika stole the show with a sensational first-half hat-trick, while Bipin Singh opened the scoring inside ten minutes. Manvir Singh’s 33rd-minute strike proved a mere consolation for the Mariners.
The win also handed East Bengal head coach Antonio Habas his first piece of silverware since taking charge, having previously guided Mohun Bagan to the ISL League Shield. With that emphatic derby win still fresh in memory, expectations are sky-high heading into the CFL rematch at Barasat Stadium.
