The second semifinal of the Durand Cup 2025 promises a thrilling clash between two teams with very different stories: traditional giants East Bengal FC and rising underdogs Diamond Harbour FC.

East Bengal come into this match full of confidence after a big 2-1 win over Mohun Bagan in the quarterfinals. It was their first top-level derby victory in over a year and ended Bagan’s 19-game unbeaten run at Salt Lake. Greek forward Dimitrios Diamantakos was the hero, scoring both goals for East Bengal. They’ll look to carry that energy into the semis and aim for a spot in the final.

Another day. Another knockout clash 🆚 a local rival! 👊

It’s a battle of legacy versus ambition. Will East Bengal book their place in the final, or will Diamond Harbour pull off another giant-killing? All will be revealed on August 20 under the floodlights of Salt Lake Stadium.
