Diamond Harbour 0-0 East Bengal LIVE Score, Durand Cup SF 2: Second Half Awaits Opening Goal

The teams return for the second half. Diamond Harbour now attacking from right to left and East Bengal from left to right. DHFC penetrate the EBFC box early in the half, but lack that clinicality in the final third once again.

What a pulsating final few minutes in the first half. Both sides hit the post but neither found the breakthrough, and so we head into the lemon break with the scoreline still reading 0-0. East Bengal were the stronger of the two sides, especially in the latter moments, and will aim to build on that in the second half.

The first half hour is done and dusted and we have the first drinks break of the game. No goals yet but lots of chances created. Who will draw first blood?

East Bengal create a big opportunity in the 14th minute but Miguel Figueira misses out. The Brazilian midfielder has the ball in close range and a clear sight of goal; he takes a crack from his left foot but the shot goes wide to the right.

We are underway at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. East Bengal kicking from right to left and Diamond Harbour from left to right in the first half. DHFC earn a throw-in from a potentially dangerous position in the third minute but are unable to make anything of it.

And here is Diamond Harbour's line-up:
