Mohun Bagan wins CFL

Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been crowned champions of the Calcutta Premier League, ending an eight‑year wait and reclaiming Kolkata’s oldest football crown with a dramatic 3–2 victory over Mohammedan Sporting.    

The triumph is historic not only because of the football on display, but because it ends a long wait , the club last won the CFL in 2018, making this a return to local supremacy after eight years.

The decisive match — a thrilling 3–2 victory over Mohammedan Sporting — had everything:

 

  • Sahal Abdul Samad’s brilliance with two headed goals and one assist
  • A late winner from young talent Sayan Banerjee through a cool right-footed placement
  • A tense phase of more than half-an-hour after Bagan were reduced to 10 men upon custodian Deepprovat’s elimination.

Roaring stands filled with flags, chants, and the unmistakable pulse of Mariners’ passion was a delight to witness indeed.

With this win, Mohun Bagan now hold 31 CFL titles, a record that stretches across eras — from pre‑Independence football to the modern ISL age. With that, the 8-year long CFL draught also ends.
