EXAMPLE
In a season that has seen no top-flight men’s football so far, the Kolkata derby has been the savior of Indian domestic football. Full stadiums, flares and raucous cheers have been the norm whenever Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal have gone head-to-head, be it the Durand Cup or the IFA Shield.
In the third edition of this high-profile match, between the seniors on Friday – at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (PJN) Stadium here – the two teams will battle for a place in the semi-finals of the AIFF Super Cup.
Bagan will come under fire in the match after an uneventful goalless draw against lower division Dempo Sports Club. But head coach Jose Molina has reassured that his boys are optimistic of an outcome similar to that of the IFA Shield final against their arch-rivals.
«I remember when we won the IFA Shield and I had just left the field when some fans came up to me to say, ‘We have to beat them (East Bengal) in the Super Cup’. And this was just after we had won a title,» Molina mocked, underscoring the emotional importance of the match among the fans.
