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.

 

A Four‑Goal surge as Sayan earns praises

Sayan Banerjee earns praises in Mohun Bagan’s season opener againat Patha Chakra at the Mohun Bagan ground.

The match evolved from a tense tactical contest into a commanding four‑goal victory, defined by early control, second‑half precision, and a dramatic stoppage‑time surge that overwhelmed the opposition.

 

The opening stages were tight, with both sides probing cautiously and focusing on midfield stability. The deadlock finally broke in the 22nd minute, when sustained pressure paid off. A well‑constructed move down the flank opened space inside the box, leading to a composed finish that gave the attacking side a deserved 1–0 lead.

The goal shifted momentum decisively. The leading team grew more confident in possession, while the opponents struggled to maintain defensive shape and rarely threatened in transition.

Patha Chakra attempted to reset after the break, pushing higher and trying to disrupt buildup play. But Mohun Bagan remained calm, circulating the ball with patience and waiting for openings.

 

Their moment arrived in the 65th minute. A swift counterattack sliced through midfield, ending with a powerful strike that doubled the lead. At 2–0, the match tilted firmly toward the eventual winners, who began to dictate tempo with authority.

What had been a controlled performance suddenly transformed into a late‑game demolition.

 

93rd minute: A set‑piece scramble inside the box ended with a close‑range finish, stretching the score to 3–0 and extinguishing any remaining hope for the opposition.

 

97th minute: With the opponents fully committed forward, a final counterattack produced the fourth goal — a crisp, clinical strike that capped a ruthless stoppage‑time surge.

 

Two goals in four minutes showcased superior fitness, sharper decision‑making, and relentless pressure until the final whistle.
