Mohun Bagan Super Giant came from a goal down to defeat Sporting Club Delhi 2-1 in the Indian Super League 2026-27 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Friday, 16 October. The Kolkata side scored twice in four minutes early in the second half, with Miguel Figueira netting the winner.

Hnamte puts hosts ahead

SC Delhi took the lead in the 23rd minute. Lalrinliana Hnamte, who previously played for Mohun Bagan, finished with his left foot after being set up by Manoj Mohammad. Bagan pushed for an equaliser before the break, and Figueira tried his luck from distance, but home goalkeeper Nora Fernandes kept the effort out. The hosts went into the interval 1-0 up.

Quick turnaround after the break

The visitors drew level in the 56th minute when Lee Erwin converted with his right foot from a Rahul Bheke delivery. Four minutes later, Figueira gave them the lead, striking with his left foot after Lalengmawia Ralte created the opening.

SC Delhi had a chance to rescue a point deep into stoppage time. Hnamte found himself in a scoring position in the sixth added minute but sent his attempt over the crossbar, according to Khel Now. Vishal Kaith kept goal for Mohun Bagan.
