Mohammedan SC were playing their sixth Durand Cup final. They became the first civilian team to win the tournament in 1940,[2] and since then they could win only once after 73 years, in 2013,[3] although they reached the finals three more times in between. Aside Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, Mohammedan is the most successful team from West Bengal. Mohammedan overcame the group stage as the group runner-up under the newly appointed coach, Andrey Chernyshov. In the knockout stage they faced the defending champions of Durand Cup, Gokulam Kerala, and subsequently they faced Bengaluru United, who had already gave them their only group stage defeat. After 120 minutes of play, Mohammedan got their revenge on Bengaluru United and reached the final.
FC Goa became the first Indian Super League team to reach the Durand Cup final. They had previously participated in this tournament only once in 2019.[4] Goa is the fourth Goan side to reach the Durand Cup finals.[5] Under the coaching of Juan Ferrando, Goa dominated in the group stage and faced Delhi and later Bengaluru in the knockout stage. The semi-final against Bengaluru went to penalty shoot-out to decide the finalist.
This was the first meeting between Mohammedan and Goa.
On the matchday the stadium was filled up with around 43,000 supporters of Mohammedan SC, as they played at their home ground. A small number of FC Goa supporters also arrived all the way from Goa to back the team. In total almost 43,292 spectators arrived at VYBK for the final match.
As the half started to progress, the temperature started to increase and the foul count also started to increase. Mohammedan was at the receiving end of the cards a they received three yellow cards within a span of 17 minutes. Azharuddin Mallick, Nikola Stojanović and Shaher Shaheen were booked.
The match was slowly starting to open up now, as chances were being created more often but none of them were being converted. A sudden moment of uproar came at the VYBK in the 35th minute when a shot from Milan Singh went flying into the goal from a distance but a foul was called by the referee just before the shot was taken and disappointment of the crowd was clearly visible. For Goa, Jesuraj had the best chance of the half when the defence was completely foxed by a cross from Sanson Pereira from the left flank but Jesuraj sent the shot wide of the goal post. The first half ended with the scores tied with no goal scored.
The second half saw Goa dominating possession but the same wasn’t resulting into concrete chances as they were losing the ball far too easily in the final third. In the meantime, Mohammedan finally made their first change of the match bringing on Brandon Vanlalremdika for Azharuddin Mallick, who was already on a yellow card. Goa also made their first change in the 85th minute with Redeem Tlang coming on for Alexander Romario Jesuraj.
The last few minutes saw some moments of excitement. Mohammedan made some good runs by Faisal Ali down the left flank in the last 5 minutes but again failed to make them count. In the injury time, Redeem Tlang came close to scoring the first goal but the angle was too steep and the ball went across the face of the goal. With scores tied with no goal scored yet at the end of the regulation time, the final went into extra time.
While the first half of the extra time was seeming that it will end goalless yet again, it was the captain of Goa, Edu Bedia who came up with the goods. Bedia scored from a fantastic free-kick awarded just outside the Mohammedan box in the 105th minute owing to a foul by Milan Singh.
Though Mohammedan was desperate for a goal in the second half of the extra time but they seemed out of sorts much like their performance in the regulation time. It seemed that Goa will have no issue sealing the deal but a moment of scare came for Goa with just 2 minutes to go in extra time as Nikola Stojanović's shot from distance demanded a flying save from Naveen Kumar.
The match finally ended with FC Goa being crowned the champions of the 130th Durand Cup for the first time, defeating Mohammedan SC 1-0.
