Kolkata’s Kishore Bharati Krirangan is set for an exciting Group B clash in the Durand Cup 2025 as former champions Border Security Force take on rising Bengal outfit Diamond Harbour FC today, August 1. Just five years old, Diamond Harbour have quickly climbed the ranks under Spanish coach Kibu Vicuna and are now seen as challengers to Kolkata’s traditional giants. In contrast, BSF, coached by Gurjit Singh Atwal, bring a rich legacy but are chasing their first title since 1988.
This marks the second Group B match after Mohun Bagan opened with a 3–1 win over Mohammedan Sporting in a fiery Kolkata derby.
Kick-off, and bang! What was that? DHFC roared forward and scored within seconds. Clayton Silva smashes it in inside the first minute. What an opening. Diamond Harbour are up 1–0 already.
Unbelievable start from Diamond Harbour. Just minutes after Clayton Silva's opener, Luka Majcen makes it two, doubling the lead inside seven minutes. DHFC are oozing confidence and completely in control.
Clayton Silva goes for it again, looking hungry for more, and Harpreet tries to hit back for BSF FT, but neither can find the net. From the opening minutes, Diamond Harbour have stamped their authority on this match. BSF FT are struggling to keep up, their marking all over the place.
Half an hour in, DHFC win a corner, Mikel swings it in, but it leads to nothing as the BSF defence clears comfortably. Luka Majcen tries to keep the pressure on moments later, but his attempt doesn’t come off.
At the other end, Harpreet has a go from distance in the 32nd minute, but it sails wide. BSF FT are trying to claw their way back, but DHFC still look the sharper side.
And there it is, the third for DHFC. Clayton Silva bags his brace, smashing it home in the 35th minute. He struck in the very first minute, and now he’s done it again. Clinical, confident, unstoppable. Diamond Harbour are 3–0 up and flying.
DHFC are relentless! Wave after wave, and now it’s Luka Majcen again, on target in the 39th minute GOAL. He makes it 4–0 with his second of the night. Diamond Harbour are tearing BSF FT apart, one attack at a time. Absolute dominance on display.
Half-time in Kolkata, and it’s been all Diamond Harbour FC from the very first whistle. They struck in the opening minute and never looked back. BSF FT simply haven’t been able to cope with the pace, precision, or pressure. Clayton Silva and Luka Majcen have both scored twice, each grabbing a brace to put DHFC 4–0 up at the break. Total domination from the home side.
We’re back for the second half, and DHFC pick up right where they left off. At the 50th minute, it’s Lalliansanga Renthlei making his presence felt, pushing forward, full of intent. The tempo hasn’t dropped one bit. BSF FT need something special to turn this around.
BSF FT’s backline collapses yet again, and Paul Ramfangzauva makes them pay. A defensive mess inside the box gifts him space, and he makes no mistake, firing it in from close range in the 55th minute. It’s turning into a rout now as DHFC extend their lead to five.
Clayton Silva goes hunting for his hat-trick, but not this time, his shot drifts wide of the post. Still, DHFC continue to pile on the pressure, and BSF FT are barely hanging on.
It just keeps coming for Diamond Harbour! In the 67th minute, a well-delivered corner from Samuel finds Joby, who rises and buries it with a sharp finish. Another clinical set-piece, another blow for BSF FT. That’s six for DHFC, they’re in cruise control.
Hat-trick hero Clayton Silva! He completes his treble in the 72nd minute, capping off a ruthless display from Diamond Harbour. It’s been one-way traffic all evening, and BSF FT look completely deflated, no fight, no response. DHFC now lead 7–0, and there’s no letting up.
Full-time in Kolkata, and it’s a statement win from Diamond Harbour FC, an emphatic 8–1 demolition of BSF FT in this Group B clash of the 134th Durand Cup. Pure dominance from start to finish.
That’s a wrap from us. Diamond Harbour put on an absolute show, and we’ve loved bringing every minute of it to you. We’ll catch you soon with another live blog, until then, bye bye and take care.
