Defence-wary Mohun Bagan seek record-extending 18th title, NEUFC chase history

Kolkata, Aug 30: Mohun Bagan Super Giant will seek a record-extending 18th title when they face first-time finalists NorthEast United FC in the Durand Cup summit showdown here on Saturday, hoping the injury concerns over skipper Subhasish Bose would not come in their way.

For a team that did not concede a single goal in the group stage, Mohun Bagan went 0-2 down after their defensive mainstay, Bose, struggled with an injury and was substituted at the half-hour mark in their semifinal against Bengaluru FC.
