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 breakthrough came in the 36th minute when Kevin Sibille rose highest to head home from a perfectly delivered free-kick, giving East Bengal the lead. Just four minutes later, Bipin Singh doubled the advantage with a composed finish from close range after a well-worked move.

As first-half stoppage time approached, Bipin struck again in the 45+1 minute, curling a beautiful effort into the far corner to complete his brace and send East Bengal into the break with a commanding 3-0 lead.

Chennaiyin FC, meanwhile, struggled to cope with East Bengal’s tempo and fluid movement. The early goals completely shifted the momentum, and the Marina Machans found it difficult to maintain defensive shape or build meaningful attacks. East Bengal’s high pressing and swift transitions kept Chennaiyin pinned back for most of the half.

After the restart, East Bengal denied Chennaiyin any real chances to get back into the game. The home side showed more intent in the second half, but their finishing lacked precision and composure in the final third.

The icing on the cake came deep into stoppage time, when East Bengal were awarded a penalty. Substitute Hiroshi stepped up confidently and converted in the 90+4 minute to make it 4-0 and put the result beyond doubt.

With this emphatic victory, East Bengal sent a strong message to the rest of the group, combining attacking sharpness, defensive organisation, and clinical finishing. For Chennaiyin FC, it was a tough night that exposed key areas for improvement as they look to regroup for the next fixture.
