Namdhari FC are set to face South United FC in a crucial Group A clash of the Durand Cup 2025 at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Wednesday, with kick-off at 7 PM IST.

This will be Namdhari’s first outing in the competition as they launch their Durand Cup campaign, and the I-League side will be eager to make a strong statement in the tournament, which has long served as the curtain-raiser for Indian football. South United FC, meanwhile, will be desperate to bounce back after a difficult start.

The Bengaluru Super Division club were handed a heavy 5-0 defeat by East Bengal in their opening match before grinding out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Indian Air Force FT, and with their knockout hopes hanging in the balance, they can ill afford another slip-up against a fresh Namdhari side.

Here we go! The whistle blows in Kolkata and we’re off. Namdhari FC and South United FC charge into action, both sides hungry for early dominance in this crucial group stage clash.

The energy is electric as the first half kicks off, fans roaring with anticipation, who’s going to land the first big blow?

Oh, that was sensational goalkeeping! Aatma decides to have a crack from way out for Namdhari FC, and what a strike it was. The ball rockets towards the top corner, but South United’s Sunil Singh launches himself like a cat, fingertips pushing it wide. The stadium gasps, that looked destined for glory, Sunil just kept his team alive.

Chaos reigns as we cross the half-hour mark. Neither side is bothering with patient build-up, it’s frantic one-touch passes and booming long balls at every opportunity. The energy is high, but the end product? Still missing. Someone needs to put a foot on the ball and change the rhythm if we’re going to see a breakthrough.

Half-time in Kolkata and it’s goalless! Both sides have battled hard but neither has managed to break the deadlock. The chances have been few, the finishing missing that final spark, it’s all still to play for after the break.

We’re back for the second half and the energy’s up again. NAM and SUFC straight back at it, both sides chasing that all-important breakthrough. One goal could change everything, who’s going to make it happen?

Good news for the fans and his teammates. Bhupinder Singh’s corner was swung in beautifully, Kamal followed it up with a teasing cross, and just as the goalkeeper rushed out bravely to claim it, there was a heavy clash of heads in the box.

Manbir Singh was pulled up for the foul, but after a brief pause and some concern, the keeper is back on his feet and looking fine. Play resumes with a sigh of relief all around.

The second half has been packed with corners, one after another, but neither side has been able to make them count. The deliveries keep coming in, the crowd rises with every ball swung into the box, yet that crucial finish just isn’t there. Still 0-0 as the search for a breakthrough goes on.

Huge moment at 74 minutes. Cledson da Silva of NFC found himself with a golden chance, the ball was whipped in with a strong cross, straight to him, but he couldn’t keep his finish on target. That was as clear as they come, and he’ll know he should’ve buried it.

Bhupinder Singh finally breaks the deadlock and sends the Namdhari fans into absolute raptures. This could well be the winner, but more importantly, it’s a historic moment, Namdhari’s first-ever goal in the Durand Cup. What a strike, what a moment.

Cledson steps up and delivers. The Namdhari forward pounces inside the box and slots home a clever finish to double the lead. It’s his first goal of the tournament, and with just a minute left on the clock, SUFC now face an impossible task.

Five minutes added on at the end of full time. SUFC still have a glimmer of hope as they push forward, desperate to find a way back into this game. Can they pull off a late miracle, or will Namdhari hold firm?

That’s a wrap! Thanks for joining us for all the action, we’ll be back with another live blog soon. Until then, take care and goodbye.
