GUWAHATI: Mohun Bagan Super Giant extended their positive form with a 2-0 win over NorthEast United FC at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Sunday, December 8, 2024.

They dominated 55.7% of the possession, recording 72% passing accuracy as compared to the 61% of the Highlanders. Two sublime strikes from Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco in the second half gave the Mariners all three points. 

With this win, they also went top of the table with 23 points from 10 matches.

The opening goal came in the 65th minute when Manvir Singh made a beautiful cut in from the right flank before nestling the ball into the top left corner before the Highlanders’ backline including Gurmeet could even react. The goal almost came against the run of play where the hosts were looking like the better team, especially in the second half.

The goal saw a massive shift in momentum for the visitors as they held more possession and started creating some chances. In the 71st minute, their sustained pressure paid dividends when Liston Colaco lost his marker with a fine cut-in before curling it past Gurmeet on the far post to double the lead for the Mariners.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant will play Kerala Blasters FC next on  December 14, while NorthEast United will face Hyderabad FC on December 23.
