Check out Inter Kashi's line-up:

Speaking before the match, Mohun Bagan head coach Sergio Lobera urged his players to remain clinical and not underestimate the opposition. “If we think it will be an easy win, it will be a big mistake. I'm sure if we are not giving our 100 per cent, we cannot win the game,” he said.

“We need to put the focus on the points, we don't need to think about the goal difference. We need to be more clinical in the last step. The most important is Apuia for us because he is a player who gives us balance.”

With manager Antonio Habas having left Inter Kashi, Abhijit Mondal has taken charge. He acknowledged the challenge of facing a strong opponent away from home while maintaining confidence in his side.

“Habas has been with us for two years. I will try not to make any changes. We will play in the old system. Habas was in training yesterday and has told the players what to do and what not to do,” he said.

The match gets underway at the Salt Lake Stadium. Inter Kashi kicking from right to left and Mohun Bagan the other way in the first half. The visitors earn a corner in the very first minute of the match, though nothing comes of it.

How did he let that one go? Asif Khan receives the ball at the goalmouth and has the whole wide goal to aim at. The winger shoots to the right and inexplicably misses. Mohun Bagan get a huge let-off, early in this encounter.

Mohun Bagan have expectedly tried to retaliate and come up with several moves to create openings. But Inter Kashi's defence has stood strong and maintained a strong structure so far to keep the Mariners at bay.

The referee cancels a corner delivery from Jason Cummings as he was not ready. The re-take arrives in the box and Inter Kashi deal well with that too. Five-odd minutes to go in the first half, and the visitors would certainly be happy with how play has progressed so far.

After two added minutes, the referee brings the first half to an end. It remains goalless at the Salt Lake Stadium, and the Mariners would be scratching their heads over the proceedings so far. 45 minutes still to go, though, and the tide can easily turn.

The players are back from the lemon break and the second half gets underway. Mohun Bagan are now kicking from right to left and Inter Kashi the other way. Sergio Lobera makes a couple of half-time substitutions: Liston Colaco is in for Robinho and Jamie Maclaren replaces Jason Cummings.

Another change for Mohun Bagan as the seasoned Subhashish Bose comes in for Amey Ranawade. Sahal is booked for fouling the surging Asif Khan, meanwhile.

The players briefly disperse for the second and final drinks break of the evening. Inter Kashi, playing for pride, are already engaging in time-wasting tactics whereas Mohun Bagan are without doubt brainstorming where they can get that winning goal in the next 14-odd minutes.

The regulation 90 minutes are over and seven minutes have been added as stoppage time. Mohun Bagan's quest for the elusive goal grows more frantic, and a nervous few moments await for Inter Kashi!

It ends all square at the Salt Lake Stadium! Inter Kashi celebrate after holding the mighty Mohun Bagan goalless, that too in Kolkata. As for the Mariners, they now draw level on points (22) with East Bengal, and the title race is set for a thrilling conclusion.

Before that, Bagan and East Bengal will face off at the Salt Lake for a blockbuster derby on Sunday (May 17).
