But a goalkeeping howler from Kamaljit Singh gifted Hugo Boumous a goal in the 56th minute. Manvir Singh doubled Mohun Bagan's lead with a piledriver from the right in the 66th minute.
Hugo Boumous has really come to life in the second period and seems more confident after his strike put his team ahead.
The Kolkata derby pulls in crowds like no other game in the nation as it has demonstrated time and again.
And the official attendance for this evening is a mammoth 62,542.
In Salt Lake Stadium as once again ATK Mohun Bagan emerges victorious, thanks to goals from Hugo Boumous and Manvir Singh.
Petratos wanted to get on the scoresheet as he gets a shot away from long range. It is hit with some sting but flies just wide of the far post in the last minutes.
East Bengal tried their level best with their attacks to get a goal back, but ATKMB are solid both at the back and in attack.
Florentin Pogba has been brought in for a defensive formation. Let's see if it reap bounds or not. Tuhin Das comes in for Naorem Mahesh. Big gamble from Constantine
It was an end to end, closely fought first-half and it gave hope to East Bengal fans that they might come strong in the last 45 minutes but it was not to be as they lacked composure in between the sticks, which costed the game.
This is also ATKMB's first clean sheet of the season, and what a night to achieve that.
East Bengal pushed to 8th in the table, and ATK Mohun Bagan move up to 4th position.

If their head-to-head results are tied at 1-1 or if they have drawn, then goal difference is taken into account.
According to this rule, Bengaluru FC had a win and a draw against Northeast United FC, which is why they are ranked above. Jamshedpur FC also has the points as Bengaluru and NorthEast, but their head-to-head record is lower, which is why they are placed below the other two.

The Kalinga Warriors are also battling competition from East Bengal FC and Kerala Blasters FC, who have 27 and 24 points from 22 and 21 encounters, respectively.

On the other hand, Mohammedan SC has faced losses in all of their last five games and is at the bottom with 11 points from 21 games. They will try to make Odisha FC the third side that they possibly beat this season after Chennaiyin FC and Bengaluru FC, but their recent form makes it a slightly tough task. They can, however, draw confidence from the fact that both of their wins this season have come on the road.
The Kolkata-based side is playing for pride and will be keen to spoil the party for Odisha with a win in match week 24. With three games remaining in their season, the club will have the opportunity to give a good account of themselves against a team fighting for a playoff spot.

Play-off Scenario | East Bengal FC
Oscar Bruzon’s team's chances of making the playoffs are slim. They would need to win all their remaining games, including a victory over NorthEast United FC, and still require the Highlanders to lose their other match or hope that Mumbai City FC fail to collect any more points.
Additionally, they would need Kerala Blasters FC, Punjab FC, and Chennaiyin FC to drop points in any of their remaining games, while also hoping Odisha FC do not collect more than three points in their last two matches
