ATK Mohun Bagan continued to hold sway over its traditional rival Emami East Bengal as it prevailed over the latter by a solitary goal in a Group B league match of the 131st Durand Cup football, at the Salt Lake Stadium here on Sunday.
ATK Mohun Bagan’s win was tragically realised by an own goal coming from East Bengal forward Sumeet Passi in the injury-time of the first half. This was the sixth straight win for ATK Mohun Bagan which has been winning every meeting against East Bengal since January 2020.
Watched by a capacity crowd of around 65,000, the match failed to reach the desired height as the classical opponents struggled to find form in the attacking third.
