Mohun Bagan defend ISL title

Mohun Bagan Super Giant became the Indian Super League League Winners after their 1-0 victory against Odisha FC here on Sunday.

The Mariners successfully defended their title, becoming the first team in the ISL to do so. After this triumph, they moved to 52 points, gaining an unassailable lead over second-placed FC Goa, who have bagged 42 points with three games to spare.

The Jose Molina-coached team sealed this victory after 16 victories and four draws while recording their sixth consecutive clean sheet — the most ever by a team in the competition.

By virtue of clinching the ISL Shield, MBSG also booked a berth in the AFC Champions League 2, the continent’s second tier club competition.

Dimitrios Petratos scored the winner in second half’s added time with a powerful and precise shot from outside the box, finally beating goalkeeper Amrinder Singh’s resistance and handing the Mariners the title-winning victory.
