Winger Nandakumar Shekar and Naorem Mahesh Singh were shown red cards in the last match. In place of Nanda, in this match Oscar selected Jackson Singh in place of PV Vishnu and Mahesh. His team played spirited football without two reliable members. This team football gave East Bengal their first win in the eighth match in ISL 2024-25. Greek striker Dimitrios Diamantakos credited the match against Mohammedan SC for this win. He said, “The match against Mohammedan gave us a lot of confidence. Though we did not score against them. Get the first point. A win against North East on the day gave us three points. Like the last match, we handled the defense together. As a result, the task of the opponent has become more difficult. We have to fight like this in all matches for the team. We have to hold on to this game.”

Coach Bruzon is impressed with the team’s striker talking about the defense. He said, “If the striker of the team talks about not conceding a goal in the press conference, it should be understood how good the performance of our footballers has been.” When Dimi says not to concede goals, to defend together, then you must understand that a big change has started to come in the mentality of the team. It was reflected in this match. We got one goal from two or three chances. As Dimi scored, he also got down and handled the defense. This indicates the level of sincerity of the team players. That’s what I’ve been saying since my first day here. We have to play perfectly as a team. Only then will we succeed.”
