Mohammedan Sporting reach final

KOLKATA: Century old local favourites Mohammedan Sporting, overcame FC Bengaluru United (FCBU) 4-2 in extra-time in the first semi-finals of the 130th Durand Cup at Kolkatas Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Monday, to make their sixth finals of the iconic tournament. Goals from Marcus Joseph, Faisal Ali, Brandon Vanlalremdika and Nikola Stojanovic made sure the Black Panthers' quest for a third Durand Cup title remained alive, despite a shock start to the match which saw FCBU talisman Pedro Manzi give his side the lead as early as 22 seconds into the game. The score-line in the end was a bit flattering for Sporting with United ending the game with 10-men. The match ended 2-2 in regular time and Sporting scored once in each half of the extra-time to achieve a result that the close to 25000 local fans at the stadium wanted. IANS
