The fifth match of the Indian Super League 2024-25 between Mohammedan SC and NorthEast United FC at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan will kick-off at 7:30 PM IST.

Mohammedan SC head coach Andrey Chernyshov ahead of the game.

“First, we need to make a strong team for the ISL. We understand how strong this competition is. We will be playing against many good Indian and foreign players. We need to take this feeling from the ISL, the experience, and we need to fight in every match, show good football for the people, and this is the most important, which inspires us to do very well in every match,” Chernoshyv told the ISL.

Starting XIs are in -

We are just about 15 minutes away from kick-off in Kolkata and both teams seem all smiles ahead of the encounter. However, the scenes could be drastically different once the match is underway! Should be a cracking contest.

The time is now for Mohammedan Sporting fans! Can history be created? It will be an interesting watch how the newly promoted Mohammedan start. The crowd looks ready! Can they start their ISL campaign on a high?

Mohammedan Sporting have been promising to press and not letting NorthEast United get away. They are taking the game to the opposition, and have a sense of confidence around that. Great five minutes so far.

5' MSC 0-0 NEUFC

Both teams have started off on a good note, trying to play attacking football. Surprisingly, Mohammedan SC have had 70% of the possession. Lalremsanga Fanai wins a freekick for the hosts.

8' MSC 0-0 NEUFC

NorthEast United's Mohammed Bemammer's shot has been blocked, however the visitors are starting to gain some momentum. Dangerous signs for Mohammedan Sporting, but have defended well so far.

18' MSC 0-0 NEUFC

There has been three yellow cards at the 30-minute mark, one from Mohammedan Sporting and two from NorthEast United. However, the hosts still have over 60% possession and have been playing well.

That is beautiful football from Jithin MS as the one-touch football almost opens up space for NorthEast United. However, nothing major from the attempt.

What an effort from Gomez, and he has Kolkata on its feet. 10/10 for the effort. However, it stays 0-0 with five minutes left on the clock before half-time.

And that's the first half done and dusted. It remains goalless in Kolkata with both teams showing promise, but have not been clinical enough to have a goal to their name. Decent first half to sum up the first 45 minutes.

We are underway in the second half, and it possibly could have been two different, interesting half-time talks at both changing rooms. However, can either team beat the Monday Blues to take all three points on offer?

Mohammedan Sporting consistently find passes and have been very, very promising. The voices in Kolkata are slowly rising as the home side have been sensational in their first-ever ISL outing.

NorthEast United have finally changed their gears, and are going for goal. Better football from the visitors, and they will be eager to score one tonight with quality all over the pitch.

We have just about 15 minutes left in regulation time, and it just feels like one of those matches that does not have a lot of goals. However, either of the teams could edge it with a goal in the dying stages of the contest.

What a game Gomez is having as he continues to create problems for NorthEast United. On the other side, Jithin MS has been the spark, and on any other day, both could have been on the score sheet. We are about two minutes away from the full-time whistle.

Goooaal!!! 1-0 NorthEast United!! And what a finish that was from Alaaddine Ajaraie. The fans in Kolkata don't look super happy but it looks like a stoppage time winner for NorthEast United to take all three points.

NorthEast United take all three points in the 94th minute of the match, and it is heartache for the newly promoted Mohammedan SC in their first Indian Super League outing.
