Durand Cup 2023 Quarter-finals Teams:
East Bengal FC
Carles Cuadrat’s team put on an outstanding performance in the remaining two games of the group stage. They defeated both the ISL and I-League champions after overcoming a discouraging 2-2 tie with Bangladesh Army in the opening game. The Red and Gold topped Group A as a result, earning seven points, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant
The Mariners, one of the two top second-place clubs in the competition, have advanced to the quarterfinals after surpassing Mohammedan SC with a superior goal differential.
Mumbai City FC
The Islanders, who finished first in their group, advanced to the next round with three victories in three games.
Gokulam Kerala FC
Gokulam Kerala, who finished first in their group, has already secured a spot in the quarterfinals with two victories in two games.
FC Goa
As the winners of Group D, the Gaurs guaranteed their place in the quarterfinals.
North East United FC
The Highlanders, one of the two best second-place teams, have assured their place in the quarterfinals with a stunning comeback victory of 3-1 over Downtown Heroes in the pivotal game.
Chennaiyin FC
The Super Machans have made it to the quarterfinals with a flawless win record.
Indian Army
The Indian Army is in first place in their group after winning their first two games. Even if Rajasthan United FC defeats them in their final match, they will still advance to the next round. A loss, though, would mean elimination.
