Jason Cummings’ Late Equaliser Rescues Mohun Bagan In Thrilling Kolkata Derby Draw

Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal FC played out a dramatic 1-1 draw in the Kolkata Derby at Salt Lake Stadium on Sunday.

Edmund Lalrindika appeared to have won it for East Bengal with an 85th-minute strike after a brilliant assist from Miguel Figueira. However, substitute Jason Cummings equalised five minutes later to rescue a crucial point for Mohun Bagan in the intense ISL 2025-26 title race. The result leaves both teams level on 23 points from 12 matches, with East Bengal staying top due to superior goal difference.

The high-voltage derby featured end-to-end action, missed chances, a late red card for Lalrindika, and a heroic save from Prabhsukhan Gill to deny Mohun Bagan a stoppage-time winner.
