Indian Super League (ISL): East Bengal beat NEUFC to clinch first win of season

Kolkata: East Bengal FC ended their winless run as they edged past NorthEast United FC 1-0 at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season tonight.

A solitary goal from Dimitrios Diamantakos was enough for Oscar Bruzon’s men to secure their first win of the ongoing ISL season in a match that ended with 10 players each for both teams.

East Bengal FC’s early pressure and persistence in attack paid dividends as Diamantakos headed them into the lead in the 23rd minute following a beautifully weighted ball from Talal. The French midfielder’s initial corner was cleared away by the Highlanders but he latched onto the rebound. Talal then delivered a tantalizing ball on the far post where Diamantakos found himself completely unmarked as he headed it past Gurmeet. Agencies
