The 16-time champions exhibited one of the greatest comebacks as they overturned a two-goal deficit in the last two minutes and secured a thrilling 5-3 victory in penalties to make the Durand Cup final after 19 years.

East Bengal's remarkable victory against NorthEast United FC in the Durand Cup semifinal was overshadowed by allegations of racism, with the visiting team fans reporting instances of racial slurs and being targeted with stones and slippers during the match.
The 16-time champions exhibited one of the greatest comebacks as they overturned a two-goal deficit in the last two minutes and secured a thrilling 5-3 victory in penalties to make the Durand Cup final after 19 years.
However, the scenes that unfolded after the match painted a grim picture as the NEUFC fans, numbering about 100-odd, claimed that the supporters of the Red and Gold brigade aimed projectiles and slurs at them. The match witnessed an attendance of about 22,000-plus spectators.
Such was the condition that immediate intervention by the Indian Army and local police was required to ensure safe exit of NorthEast United FC supporters.
However there has been no official complaint regarding the alleged incident as yet.
The All India Football Federation secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran, however, has promised action.
"Saddened to read this. We will take up this matter. We have a zero tolerance on this. We have to do everything possible to completely eliminate these kinds of issues from Indian football," Prabhakaran posted on his social media platform 'X', formerly twitter.
Both the the teams, meanwhile, have condemned the alleged incident.
"NorthEast United FC are deeply disturbed by the recent incident of racism, hooliganism &amp; violence directed towards some of our fans during the Durand Cup semi-final match against East Bengal FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Tuesday. Racism has no place in football, or in any aspect of life, and we unequivocally condemn such behaviour," NEUFC said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Our fans are an integral part of our team, and we stand united against any form of discrimination. We have already brought this matter to the attention of the tournament organisers, and the local officials.
"We'd like to thank the Indian Army and the local police officials for taking swift action against the perpetrators. We are also grateful to them for providing adequate protection to our fans and escorting them to their desired location." East Bengal added: "East Bengal FC condemns all forms of racism. there is no room for discrimination in football, a sport that unites people." Indian Army, who are the organisers of Asia's oldest tournament, is yet to come out with any statement.

In 1977, playing for the star-studded New York Cosmos, Pele faced a spirited Mohun Bagan at the jam-packed Eden Gardens.

Much before Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' moment stirred the football passion in Bengal, it was the Brazilian legend Pele who began the region's tryst with the 'beautiful game'.
Playing against Mohun Bagan at a jam-packed Eden Gardens in September 1977, the three-time World Cup winner was overwhelmed by the depth of talent the Indian club possessed.
Desperately seeking a revival after the dominance of arch-rivals East Bengal, Mohun Bagan not only stopped the 'King of Football' from scoring a goal but almost won 2-1 before a controversial penalty made it a 2-2 draw against the star-studded New York Cosmos.
But that wasn't the only visit Pele made to Kolkata.
In 2015, he was in the city during the Durga Puja festive period. Pele left even the former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, a Brazil fan, mesmerised by his aura.&nbsp;
Speaking at the event, the King of Football told his audience then that he accepted to come to India because he loves the people in the country.
