Coal India hosted Mohun Bagan Super Giant II in the Calcutta Premier Division regular season on 10 September 2026, and the visitors took all three points with a 5-1 victory. The result moved guests into third place with 23 points, while hosts remain fourth on 22 points after 11 games each. By then, the away side had already shown they could compete at this level, with five wins in their last five matches before this fixture. Coal India had taken eight points from their previous five outings, but this performance suggested otherwise.
M. Singh opened the scoring in the 21st minute, giving the visitors an early lead. S. Samad doubled the advantage with a goal in the 34th minute, and just three minutes later S. Malik made it three before half-time. The hosts never got going, and the visitors were out of sight by half-time.
Another goal followed in the 39th minute, though no scorer was recorded for that strike. K. Nassiri added a fourth in the 40th minute, and M. Singh completed his brace with a penalty in the 43rd minute. To be fair, the hosts tightened things up for a spell, but the damage was done. The visitors had already built an insurmountable lead by that stage.
A seventh goal arrived in the 76th minute, again without a named scorer, making the final tally 1-5. We had tipped the away side to win before kick-off, and the result confirmed that assessment. The visitors turned it on when it mattered, proving their confidence was well-placed.
The victory kept Mohun Bagan Super Giant II in third place, one point ahead of fourth-placed Coal India. Hosts had won six, drawn four and lost just once in 11 league games before this defeat. The loss ended a run of four unbeaten matches for the home side, who had taken eight points from their previous five outings.
The gap between third and fourth remains tight in the Calcutta Premier Division, but this result will sit heavily with the home crowd. Coal India now face a task to respond, while the visitors continue building momentum. It was a day to forget for the hosts, and a day to remember for the visitors. And here's the thing — the division is wide open, and every point counts.
