9' Bagan's defense in shambles! Alfred and Nauris play 1-2-1 and Alfred is all the way in the dangerous zone. He sends the ball across the face of the goal, but despite the entire net being open after Vishal rushed out, Asif taps it outside. Unbelievable miss by the youngster.

6' Inter Kashi keeps moving forward by pushing the ball down the right wing, through passes and throws.

100th ISL Appearance for Mehtab Singh tonight!
2' Deepak Tangri is playing as the pseudo CB when Bagan is developing the attack from the midfield. Tom and Mehtab are split on the sides. We witnessed a similar formation in the 2nd half of FC Goa Match.
1' First corner for Inter Kashi. Llamas takes it, but its cleared from the box.
0' KICKOFF Match begins!
The players are coming out of the dugout. The crowd is cheering and clapping with full force!
Abhijit Mondal's words before the Match - "Antonio Habas' goal was to win I-league and qualify for ISL. He has left after completing his mission. Under me, the team will play in a different style. I want to do something for the club. I am looking forward to give a fight to Mohun Bagan, because they are the title contenders. We all know about their strength."
Sergio Lobera's words before the Match - "Some players are kept out of the Starting XI, not because of injuries, but because of PREVENTION!" He acknowledged that big matches are coming up ahead (aka Kolkata Derby) and he wants all of his players fit for those matches.
The players have returned back to the dugout. 15 mins to go before Kickoff!
In the warm-up, Dimi missed a couple of shots at goal. Hope all the bad shots are out of the way before the match begins.
The two main teams that are currently leading in the title race are East Bengal FC, who are currently first, and can reach a potential 28 point mark if they win their last 2 matches, whereas <b>Mohun Bagan SG, who are currently second, can reach a potential 30 point mark if they win their last 3 matches.</b> Both potentials cannot be reached simultaneously as the both sides lock horns this Sunday. Today's result will dictate Mohun Bagan's stance and mentality in the Kolkata Derby.
Given that this is the first time these two sides are facing each other, this match has a lot riding on it. The title race is coming to a close and many top contenders have lost crucial points in recent matches. Punjab FC, Mumbai City FC can reach a potential 25 point mark, if they manage to win both remaining games. FC Goa and Bengaluru FC can reach a potential 23 point mark, if they win their last match. Jamshedpur FC, who are currently 3rd, can reach a potential 24 point mark, if they secure victory in their last fixture.
Prior to this match, head Coach Antonio Lopez Habas, and his foreign staff, left the role under Inter Kashi FC. Their Goalkeeping Coach, Abhijeet Mondal, will be in the dugout today.
The players are on the pitch, warming up for the big game!
Just 1 hour to go before Kickoff! Sergio Lobera has taken a big gamble by fielding a completely different squad than what we are used to seeing in the first half. Will it pay off for Mohun Bagan?
<b>Substitutions available for Inter Kashi: </b> Nishchal Chandan, Aritra Das, Jayesh Rane, Seiminlen Doungel, Lluis Tarres, Karthik Panicker, Anil Chawan, Ashish Jha, Sumeet Passi.

<b>Changes in the Starting XI for Inter Kashi : </b> 3 Changes to the Starting XI. Aritra Das and Sumit Passi got replaced by Nauris Petkevicius, in the attack, and Narender Gahlot, who is the center-back. Wayne Vaz got suspended and was replaced by David Humanes.
<b>Changes in the Starting XI for Mohun Bagan : </b> 6 Changes to the Starting XI. Mehtab Singh replaces Alberto Rodriguez in defense and Amey Ranawade replaces Subhasish Bose.

<b>MATCH UPDATE: </b> LINEUPS ARE OUT!
Players have arrived at the Fortress!
After playing 2 Away Games, Mohun Bagan is finally back at VYBK, in front of the home crowd! In the final stretch of the ISL 2025/26, just 3 games remain for the Defending Champions to lay claim over the title of National Champions. And just as luck would have it, the final 3 games are all at home! So, I urge all Mariners to go to the stadium, flock in numbers and support the team. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the live update to re-live the moments if you are at the venue or know everything in details with constant updates about the match if you are unable to. The Mariners need to show how strong the 12th Man is, for their favourite Club! 💚🤎
<b>Injury Update: </b> Although we heard news on Alberto, Anirudh Thapa and Apuia practicing on the sidelines, no confirmed update came from Coach Sergio Lobera in the Pre-Match Press Conference. Assuming that the whole squad is fit and ready at his disposal, we'll just have to wait and see what the Starting Lineup and Bench Substitute list is for Mohun Bagan today.
<b>Current ISL Table Standings :</b> Mohun Bagan is 2nd with 21 points from 10 matches with GD of +13, trailing behind East Bengal FC, who acquired 22 points in 11 matches with GD of +18. A win today for the Mariners will make them table toppers with 2 points lead before we face them on Sunday. A draw, however, will lead to equal points from same no. of matches played compared to EBFC, but we'll stay 2nd as the rivals have +5 more Goal Difference than us. A loss today will mean that we'll be trailing behind by 1 point from EBFC before the Kolkata Derby. That's the worst outcome that can occur today, ahead of the Kolkata Derby on Sunday.
