Durand Cup 2022 News

The Salt Lake Stadium witnessed an emphatic night, as there was no clear winner in the third quarter-final of the Durand Cup 2022 between Mumbai City FC and Chennaiyin FC. It took extra time to find the winner as the two teams went neck-to-neck in ninety minutes, but the Islanders held the edge.

Chennaiyin FC produced a clinical 2-0 victory over NEROCA FC in their final Group C game at Imphal in the Durand Cup to book their place in quarters. Midfielders Anirudh Thapa and Vafa Hakhamaneshi scored in each half to take Chennaiyin FC past the hosts and into the knockout stage.

It’s a big day for ISL clubs in the Durand Cup as four teams will be in action on Friday. While the Group C Hyderabad FC-Chennayin FC game will showcase the very top echelons of Indian football at their full strength, the FC Goa-Jamshedpur FC Group A game will give us a sneak-peak into future stars.
