Must read

Guwahati, Sept 22: The NorthEast United FC would like to keep their wining momentum going as they take on Mohun Bagan SG in their Indian Super League (ISL 2024-25) match at the VYBK, Kolkata on Monday.

The Highlanders would be looking to repeat the result of the Durand Cup final where they defeated the Mohun Bagan SG. This will be almost like a rematch as Mohun Bagan SG would be back for vengeance in their home turf.

Carrying their form forward from the Durand Cup win, the NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) opened their ISL 2024-25 campaign with a 1-0 win away to another Kolkata club Mohammedan SC, while Mohun Bagan SG played out a 2-2 draw against Mumbai City FC in the ISL opener.
