Mohammedan Sporting Club knock out defending champs Gokulam Kerala

KOLKATA: Local favourites Mohammedan Sporting Club have reached the 130th Durand Cup semi-finals, knocking out defending champions Gokulam Kerala with a 1-0 victory in front of a limited capacity home crowd at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK).

Marcus Joseph, who once represented the club for Malabar, broke Gokulam hearts by scoring the match-winner for Mohammedan in the 44th minute.

They will now face FC Bengaluru United in their semi-final tie on September 27 at the VYBK. The I-League 2nd division side has received a bye to the last-four stage after their quarter-final opponents Army Red Football Team pulled out of the tournament owing to Covid cases. IANS
