Mohun Bagan Super Giant won the Indian Super League 2024-25 League Winners’ title. They defeated Odisha FC 1-0 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium in Kolkata on Sunday. As a result, they became the first team in ISL history to defend their league title. With this win, they reached 52 points, securing an unbeatable lead over second-placed FC Goa, who have 42 points with three matches left. Meanwhile, Coach Jose Molina’s team won 16 matches and drew four. They also set a league record with six consecutive clean sheets.
Slow Start and Missed Chances
At the beginning, both teams started cautiously. However, Odisha FC got the first real chance through the right flank. Hugo Boumous sent a perfect through ball to Rahul KP, but he shot powerfully instead of placing it. Consequently, he missed the target in the 19th minute.

Mohun Bagan’s Attacking Threat
Shortly after, Lalengmawia Ralte showed his attacking skills in the 31st minute. He passed to Jamie Maclaren in the penalty area. Fortunately for Odisha FC, Maclaren’s shot was on target, but goalkeeper Amrinder Singh saved it and deflected it for a corner.
Odisha FC’s Defense Under Pressure
From then on, Amrinder Singh faced constant attacks. Greg Stewart intercepted a pass at the edge of the box and took a quick shot toward the bottom left corner. However, Amrinder saved it. Maclaren then tried to score from the rebound, but once again, Amrinder denied him just before halftime.
Second Half Dominance
After the break, Stewart kept pushing Odisha FC’s defense. In the 60th minute, he ran into the box and passed to Manvir Singh. Unfortunately, Manvir failed to control the ball, wasting a golden opportunity.
Decisive Moment and Winning Goal
In the 82nd minute, Dimitrios Petratos took a long-range shot, but Amrinder saved it once again. Soon after, Mourtada Fall fouled Maclaren near the penalty area. As a result, the referee gave Fall a red card, reducing Odisha FC to ten men.
Nevertheless, Petratos kept searching for the winning goal. Finally, deep into stoppage time, he struck a powerful shot from outside the box. The ball hit the bottom left corner of the net, and Amrinder couldn’t stop it. Ultimately, this goal sealed Mohun Bagan’s victory and secured their second consecutive ISL League Winners’ title.
