From the first whistle, FC Goa looked sharp, organised and hungry. The opening goal arrived in the 19th minute, when Boris Singh reacted quickly to a rebound inside the box and calmly placed the ball into the net. The early breakthrough settled Goa and allowed them to dictate the game with quicker passing and confident possession.

East Bengal pushed for a way back but struggled to find space against Goa’s disciplined defensive structure. Goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh and the backline stayed alert, cutting out crosses, blocking shots and limiting clear chances.

Goa doubled their advantage in the 74th minute, sealing the final. Substitute Muhammed Nemil, known for his creativity, made an immediate impact by setting up Carl Mchugh, who finished with a composed strike to make it 2–0. From that moment, the momentum firmly shifted in Goa’s favour.

In midfield, Borja Herrera, playing in his third straight Super Cup final, once again controlled the tempo, showing why he remains a key part of the team’s success. Goa’s experience, patience and tactical maturity stood out throughout the match.

For FC Goa, this title marks a major milestone — three Super Cup victories, including back-to-back championships, something no other Indian club has achieved. It also reflects the club’s strong development system, depth in squad quality and ability to perform under pressure.

East Bengal fought till the end but were unable to break through. They finish as runners-up after an impressive campaign, showing good promise heading into future competitions.

As fireworks lit up Fatorda, FC Goa lifted the trophy once again, celebrating a historic triumph with their fans. The journey continues, but for now, the Gaurs stand proudly at the top, champions of India for the third time.

The Islanders showed intent throughout the match, dominating possession and pressing aggressively from the start. Although Kerala Blasters had an early chance when Koldo Obieta broke through minutes into the game, Mumbai’s defence and goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa managed to keep them at bay. 

A turning point came just before half-time when Kerala were reduced to ten men after a red card for Sandeep Singh. That handed Mumbai City a numerical edge. In the second half, they maintained pressure, probing for the breakthrough. It finally arrived when a Pereyra Díaz ball caused confusion in Kerala’s defence, leading to the own goal. 

With this result, Mumbai City leapfrog into the knockout phase, showing composure in a tight contest. Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters’ campaign ends in disappointment despite earlier strong results.

For Mumbai City, the path now leads to the semi-finals where they will look to build on this momentum. The narrow win underlines that even tightly contested matches can break in your favour with patience and discipline.
