And the game is on. The first-half between Chennaiyin FC and East Bengal FC is now underway at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim.

First booking of the game as Chennaiyin’s Jiteshwor goes into the referee’s book for a late challenge on Mahesh. East Bengal win a promising free-kick in a dangerous area.

Saul Crespo gets a sharp chance at the near post after a clever flick falls his way, but his effort only finds the side-netting. A warning sign for the opposition.

Early substitution for Chennaiyin FC as Kingslee replaces Jiteshwor, who picked up an injury after already being on a yellow card. An early setback for Chennaiyin.

The referee calls for the first cooling break. It’s been a cagey affair so far with no clear chances, though Chennaiyin FC has shown a bit more intent and urgency in attack.

East Bengal finally breaks the deadlock. From a free-kick on the left after Bipin Singh was fouled, Mahesh delivers a perfect cross into the box, and Sibille rises highest to nod it home from close range. Superb finish and East Bengal takes the lead!

East Bengal doubles its advantage! Mahesh delivers another pinpoint cross, this time from the right, and Bipin times his run perfectly to tap it in from close range. Clinical finish and East Bengal in firm control.

Bipin gets his brace! Chennaiyin’s defence is carved open again as a through ball finds Bipin on the left. He opens up his body and curls a finessed strike toward goal, Nawaz gets a hand to it but can’t keep it out.

What a turnaround from East Bengal! After a quiet opening half-hour, the Red and Golds exploded into life, scoring three goals in just 11 minutes. Kevin Sibille opened the scoring with a towering header from Mahesh’s pinpoint free-kick, before Bipin Singh stole the show with a quickfire brace, first tapping in Mahesh’s cross and then curling home a superb finish before the break.

The second half kicks off at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim. East Bengal holds a commanding lead over Chennaiyin FC after a dominant first-half display. Chennaiyin needs an early goal to spark any hopes of a comeback.

Bipin does well down the left and squares it to Mahesh inside the box. Mahesh creates space with a neat drag-back before shooting low, but the effort lacks power and Nawaz gathers it comfortably.

Mandar tries his luck from distance, forcing Gill into action. The East Bengal goalkeeper reacts quickly, getting down low to make a solid save and hold onto the ball safely.

So close for Hiroshi! The East Bengal debutant unleashes a stunning long-range strike that beats the keeper but crashes off the crossbar and bounces back into play, inches away from a dream first goal.

Penalty to East Bengal! Edmund is brought down inside the box by Mandar’s late challenge, and the referee points to the spot. A golden chance for the Red and Gold to seal it.

Hiroshi gets his debut goal! The Japanese midfielder keeps his composure with a stuttered run-up before slotting the penalty into the bottom-left corner, sending Nawaz the wrong way.

East Bengal records its first win of the 2025-26 AIFF Super Cup with a dominant 4-0 victory over Chennaiyin FC in Group A. A statement performance from the Red and Gold brigade. CFC were surely not expecting this kind of result. This is their second loss of the tournament and are at the bottom in their group.
