East Bengal are trying to find out a way get inside the penalty area of the opponent but Mohun Bagan are showing really good defence here with good man-marking. The EBFC players are also looking tired now. Only four minutes remaining in the clock for the completion of 90 minutes.

Manvir Singh ran with the ball from the right flank this time and rather tried to take a direct try. The ball went well over the bar. A better judgement could have helped Manvir finding out any player around the middle inside the penalty area.

Poor try from Liston Colaco. He did well to ran into the penalty area from the left flank, but failed to give a pass and ended up hitting the opponent goalkeeper with the ball. The ball ricocheted off the keeper and Samad took a hit but that went way far from the goal post.

Good try from Mohun Bagan's Ashish Rai there but that is also good goalkeeping from East Bengal goalie. MBSG get a corner but they fail to take advantge of that as Manvir Singh's header went over the bar.

Liston Colaco ran with the ball on the counter-attack but he was tackled by Souvik Chakrabarti. Colaco fell on the ground and the referee booked Chakrabarti with a second yellow card. The misery continues for East Bengal and now they have been reduced to 10 men.

Chunga had to pay for his rough challenge on Cummings. This is the second yellow card shown to an East Bengal player in the second half as earlier the referee had also booked Nishu Kumar for a foul on Liston Colaco.

It's the end of the first half. Jamie Maclaren scored the opening goal for Mohun Bagan but both the teams failed to cash in on their respective opportunities after that.

It was penalty there for East Bengal but they have been robbed off. Vishnu Puthiya hit the ball and the ball then hit Apuia's hand. Referee missed it and that cost EBFC big. It would have been a penalty!

Souvik Chakrabarti has been shown a yellow card. He tackled Apuia in the half of Mohun Bagan and it has been noticed by the referee. MBSG got a freekick. 

MBSG 1-0 EBFC

Jamie Maclaren and Souvik Chakrabarti got involved in a heated exchange. The referee and players of both the teams quickly intervened to make things easy. Both the players were fighting to take the ball possession and Maclaren was not happy with the way Chakrabarti used his arm there in the middle of the pitch. The East Bengal player was also unhappy with what happened there.

We are in the 36th minute of the game and Mohun Bagan's ball possession so far was 52 per cent. They took four shots while two of the shots went on target. East Bengal also took four shots but none of them went on target.

Asish Rai has been shown a yellow card for a tackle on Vishnu. East Bengal got a free kick but they couldn't capitalise on it. The ball was comfortably cleared by Mohun Bagan's defence.

East Bengal were creating an attack from the left flank but Vishnu Puthiya Valappill's poor pass saw them losing the ball possession. The ball went past Diamantakos quite easily to make it an easy clearance for Mohun Bagan.

There was the chance for Mohun Bagan's Manvir to double up the lead but he missed it. Jamie Maclaren placed a really good pass from the right flank in the penalty area but Manvir Singh, who was running right in the middle, failed to get it past the East Bengal goalie.

That is really poor from the referee. It was a corner kick for Mohun Bagan, and Jamie Maclaren got an opportunity inside the penalty area. He could not hit it well and the ball hit Lalchungnunga before going past the goal line. It should have been another corner for MBSG, but referee gave it a goal kick instead.

East Bengal got a golden opportunity to equalise but Cleiton Silva failed to execute the final hit properly. He just had to beat the Mohun Bagan goalie V Kaith inside the box but his hit went off the post.

Just the second minute going into the game and Mohun Bagan are 1-0 up. Jamie Maclaren got a brilliant pass and he scored the opener for MBSG. Asish Rai was the player who provides the pass, splitting it through the two EBFC players.

MBSG 1-0 EBFC

The Kolkata Derby has begun in Guwahati with East Bengal starting the proceedings. Less than a minute into the game and Mohun Bagan have taken good control. They however could not execute it inside the box, thanks to East Bengal's defence.

It is important to note that East Bengal FC are chasing history as they have never defeated Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the Indian Super League. Both the teams have faced each other 9 times in ISL, with 8 of the results going in favour of MBSG and one ending in a draw.

East Bengal head coach Oscar Bruzon backed his players to perform well in the Kolkata Derby. "We have to optimise the resources that are available to us and we have full confidence in the players who will take the field to play in the Kolkata Derby," he said.

Mohun Bagan head coach Jose Molina played down their impressive track record against East Bengal FC in the ISL. "What we did in the ISL so far doesn't matter in tomorrow's game. We need to perform well, defeat them in the 90 minutes tomorrow on the pitch. We need to optimise our resources," he said.

East Bengal will have to discover a way to break down the cohesiveness in the Mariners' passing patterns to not let them dictate the flow of the proceedings. On the other hand, the Mariners will be targeting their fourth league double against East Bengal in the ISL.

With both teams eyeing important points, Mohun Bagan will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak, while East Bengal will be hoping to break their arch-rivals' stronghold and avoid another loss. MBSG have played 14 matches thus far this season and lost only two of them and won 10. It will be a tough challenge for East Bengal tonight.

Mohun Bagan are sitting comfortably at the top of the table on 32 points with 10 wins from 14 matches. Their attacking unit, led by Dimitrios Petratos, Manvir Singh, Liston Colaco, Jamie Maclaren, and Jason Cummings has been one of the most relentless in the league. Additionally, the Mariners have been solid defensively.

East Bengal have struggled in terms of scoring, having netted only five goals in this fixture. Their form has also been patchy this season, registering two wins in their last five games, which has seen them placed at 11th in the points table.

Mohun Bagan have won eight out of the nine encounters between the two teams in ISL history. The remaining one game ended in a draw. This means East Bengal are yet to record a victory over their arch-rivals.

The change in venue for MBSG vs EBFC ISL game comes after the Bidhannagar Police in Kolkata, under whose jurisdiction the original match venue Salta Lake Stadium falls, cited concerns over inadequate security because of the Gangasagar Mela from January 10 to 18.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant would look to assert their dominance over arch-rivals East Bengal in the Indian Super League (ISL) as the two sides face each other on Saturday in a match which has been shifted from Kolkata to Guwahati. Get ready for the exciting encounter that kicks off at 7:30 PM IST.
