Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) qualified for their third consecutive final of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 tonight after a 3-2 aggregate win against Jamshedpur FC in the semi-final tie. After losing the opening leg by 2-1 last week, MBSG scored a 2-0 victory over the Men of Steel in the second game of the fixture at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium tonight and are now set to square off against Bengaluru FC in the summit clash.

The ball was cleared out but Jason Cummings pounced upon the same at the edge of the penalty area and unleashed an effort that landed high above the target.

Colaco and Cummings joined hands again after the half-hour mark, with the former distributing the ball to the centre from right. The striker played the ball to the left flank and a quick string of passes saw Asish Rai make a headed delivery precisely in Cummings’ path. The forward could not sort his feet in time though, eventually making a feeble effort that was saved in the middle of the goal by Albino Gomes.
