Mohun Bagan vs Chennaiyin, ISL Highlights: Catch all the highlights of the high-voltage Indian Super League clash as MBSG took on CFC in Kolkata.
Mohun Bagan vs Chennaiyin ISL, AS IT HAPPENED: Mohun Bagan Super Giant continued their flawless run in the Indian Super League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Chennaiyin FC at the Salt Lake Stadium on Monday, Feb 23. Jamie Maclaren broke the deadlock deep into first-half stoppage time, and Dimitri Petratos added another in the 65th minute to seal the result for the hosts.
With the win, Bagan climbed to second place on the table, level on points with arch-rivals East Bengal but trailing on goal difference. Chennaiyin, on the other hand, remains winless after two games and sits 11th in the standings.
PREVIEW
Mariners Looking to Stay Perfect
Mohun Bagan entered the campaign with the swagger of a champion, dispatching Kerala Blasters 2–0 in their opener. Under the guidance of Sergio Lobera, the Mariners have looked cohesive, with Jamie Maclaren already finding his scoring touch. However, Lobera hasn’t let the early success lead to complacency. In his pre-match briefing, he emphasized that the team needs to be “braver with their passing” and more clinical to avoid the late-game scrambles that defined some of their matches last season.
The “Marina Machans” Seeking a Spark
Chennaiyin FC, led by Clifford Miranda, arrive in Kolkata with a point to prove. Their opening 1–0 loss to Mumbai City was a frustrating affair—they dominated possession and earned 15 corners but failed to find the net. Miranda, a former coach at Mohun Bagan, knows the VYBK turf well. He has praised his squad’s “professionalism and character” in training this week, but they will need more than just spirit to break down a Bagan defense that looked impenetrable in Week 1.
Head-to-Head & Venue History
While Mohun Bagan are the heavy favorites, the historical data suggests a potential banana skin:
ISL Meetings: 10 (MBSG 4 wins, CFC 2 wins, 4 Draws).
The Venue Factor: Interestingly, Chennaiyin has won two of their last three visits to the Salt Lake Stadium against the Mariners.
