Durand Cup 2025: Mohun Bagan Super Giant eye second win against BSF FT

Mohun Bagan Super Giant aim for a second straight Durand Cup 2025 win as they take on BSF FT after a dominant Kolkata Derby victory.

"MBSG dominated the contest and sealed the three points despite being reduced to ten men. – ISL Release"

Kolkata, August 3

Mohun Bagan Super Giant will look to build on their impressive start to the Durand Cup 2025 when they face Border Security Force FT at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Monday.

After a commanding win in the Kolkata Derby against Mohammedan SC, the Mariners will be eager to keep the momentum going, as per a release from ISL.

The Indian Super League (ISL) double winners kicked off their campaign with a thrilling 3-1 win over Mohammedan SC. Despite being reduced to ten men after Apuia was sent off, MBSG dominated the contest and sealed the three points at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan.

BSF FT, meanwhile, had a rough start to their campaign, suffering an 8-1 defeat at the hands of Diamond Harbour FC on Friday. The Armed Forces side will be hoping to bounce back, but a tough challenge awaits them against a star-studded Mohun Bagan Super Giant outfit.

MBSG currently sit second in the group with a game in hand. Diamond Harbour FC lead the standings with six points and a superior goal difference. But with key senior players, including foreigners, expected to return for Monday's game, the Mariners will be further strengthened, the release added.

Jose Molina's men will be eager to maintain their winning run before facing Diamond Harbour FC in what could be a Group B decider on August 9.

While I support MBSG, we must appreciate BSF players too. They represent our armed forces and play with limited resources. Hope they put up a good fight! 🇮🇳

The real test will be against Diamond Harbour FC. That 8-1 scoreline shows they mean business. Mohun Bagan needs to be careful about complacency against BSF first.

Why is our national tournament getting so little coverage? Durand Cup is older than FIFA World Cup but gets treated like stepchild. Need better promotion! 😤

Interesting to see ISL teams in this tournament. The mix of professional and institutional teams makes Durand Cup unique in world football. Hope Mohun Bagan respects the tradition.

Apuia's red card was harsh no? Hope the referee is more balanced tomorrow. We want fair matches, not one-sided affairs. #FootballFirst
