Kolkata, April 12:
In a dramatic Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 final at the Salt Lake Stadium, Mohun Bagan Super Giant came from behind to edge past Bengaluru FC 2-1 in extra time and lift the ISL title, completing a memorable domestic double after also clinching the ISL Shield earlier in the season.
The match began in tense fashion, with Bengaluru FC taking the lead in the first half, courtesy of an unfortunate own goal by Mohun Bagan’s Alberto Rodriguez.

But Mohun Bagan showed grit. Jason Cummings stepped up in the second half to convert a crucial penalty after a Bengaluru handball inside the box, levelling the score at 1-1.
