Match

Summary

The Durand Cup final began at the Delhi Gate Stadium in New Delhi on 18 January 1961 in front of a packed crowd as Kolkata giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan faced each other in a Kolkata Derby, first time in the final of the Durand Cup. Mohun Bagan, the defending champions, made their fourth appearance in the final after they defeated Gorkha Brigade 1–0 in the semi-final, having previously won the cup in 1953 and 1959. East Bengal reached their fifth Durand Cup final after defeating City College Old Boys 1–0 in the semi-final, having won the tournament previously thrice in 1951, 1952, and 1956.[1]

Mohun Bagan and East Bengal both tried to take control of the game in the first half but canceled each other out as the game remained goalless, until the third minute of the second half when East Bengal took the lead through a penalty kick, taken perfectly by Arun Ghosh. Mohun Bagan equalized just a couple of minutes later as Amiya Banerjee scored to make it 1–1. Both teams had chances to win the game but failed to do so, as the game finished 1–1, and the organizing committee decided to host the replay final the very next day.[1][2][3]

Summary

The replay final began at the Delhi Gate Stadium in New Delhi on 19 January 1961 as the first final finished in a 1–1 draw.[1]

Mohun Bagan started fast by creating a few attacks with Chuni Goswami and Amiya Banerjee linking up together but the East Bengal defense led by Arun Ghosh held firm. Both teams tried to take control of the game in different spells but failed to break the deadlock as the game ended in a goalless stalemate. No extra time was played and the organizing committee decided to declare both the teams as joint winners, with a coin toss taking place, which Mohun Bagan won, thus they got to keep the trophy first six months while East Bengal would keep it in the next six. This win for both the teams meant East Bengal had been crowned the Durand Cup champions for the fourth time, after 1951, 1952, and 1956 while Mohun Bagan got crowned champions for the third time after 1953 and 1959.[1][4][5][6]
