Having won their first trophy in the recently concluded Durand Cup, NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) are approaching the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 with positive intent. Goalkeeper Gurmeet Singh pulled off some excellent saves in the penalty shootout as NEUFC overcame a two-goal deficit to stun Mohun Bagan SG 4-3 in the final.
For Bollywood actor John Abraham's team, it was their first silverware in a decade after their inception and it couldn't have been sweeter, in front of packed, passionate Mohun Bagan fans at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium.
However, a rematch of the top-flight clash awaits them in the second Matchweek when they travel to Kolkata. Interestingly, the Highlanders will start their campaign with an away match against newly promoted Mohammedan Sporting Club, also a Kolkata side!
