Two Indian Super League (ISL) giants, ATK Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC, go head-to-head in a Durand Cup Group C fixture at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Wednesday, August 24.

The Mariners lost their first fixture against Rajasthan United FC 2-3 and will be eyeing a comeback in this game. Kiyan Nassiri and Ashique Kuruniyan gave ATK Mohun Bagan the lead, but saw their efforts get neutralized as the game progressed.

The game was poised for a 2-2 draw when Rajasthan scored a goal in the 95th minute to bag all three points.

Ready to take on the Islanders! 💚♥️

Mumbai City FC, on the other hand, come into this fixture after a 4-1 win over the Indian Navy. The Navy side picked up the lead but Vikram Partap Singh pulled things back for Mumbai before the break. Greg Stewart then converted from the penalty spot to give Mumbai the lead before Lallianzuala Chhangte's brace made it 4-1.

Speaking about his side's performance, head coach Des Buckingham said:

"I am very happy with the start we have got. We conceded first against Indian Navy, but we settled in quickly and played good football overall. But, it's just the beginning and we want to carry forward the momentum."
