Durand Cup 2024 Mohun Bagan SG vs NorthEast United final results, winner, score, and prize money
Mohun Bagan took an early lead with Jason Cummings converting a penalty in the 12th minute. As halftime approached, Liston Colaco’s precise cross found Sahal Abdul Samad, who doubled the lead with a well-timed volley. However, NorthEast United dominated the second half, with Guillermo’s introduction proving pivotal. Ajarie scored in the 59th minute to reduce the deficit, and Guillermo quickly followed up with a volley to equalize at 2-2.
The match went into a penalty shootout, where controversy arose as Cummings was allowed to retake his missed penalty due to the NEUFC goalkeeper stepping off the line. Cummings converted on his second attempt, but MBSG captain Subhashish Bose missed his crucial penalty, sealing NorthEast United’s historic victory and their first piece of silverware.
