Mohun Bagan got the better of bitter rival East Bengal in the Durand Cup final, to secure a record-breaking 17th title, at the Salt Lake Stadium on Sunday.
Dimitri Petratos proved to be the difference after he scored the only goal of the game from outside the box in the 71st minute. The Australian’s shot took a deflection off a player, ensuring it moved further away from a diving Prabhsukhan Gill and into the left bottom corner.
