East Bengal FC delivered a spectacular statement of intent in the Super Cup 2025-26, utterly dismantling rivals Chennaiyin FC with a dominant 4-0 victory. The win was a perfect launchpad for their tournament campaign, catapulting them to the top of Group A and leaving a stunned Chennaiyin side reeling from a heavy, demoralizing defeat.

The Red and Gold Blitz: A First-Half Masterclass:
From the opening whistle, East Bengal dictated a fiercely aggressive pace, immediately seizing control of the midfield. The Red and Gold Brigade’s players executed a relentless high press, denying Chennaiyin any time or space to settle into a rhythm. This sustained pressure proved far too much for the opposition’s defensive line.

The breakthrough, a reward for their attacking enterprise, arrived in the 36th minute. Following a period of sustained attack, defender Kevin Sibille found the back of the net, registering the crucial opener to make it 1-0.

Crucially, East Bengal did not ease up. They capitalized on the disarray in the Chennaiyin ranks immediately, striking again just four minutes later (40′) to double their lead to 2-0. The most devastating blow, however, landed just before the break. Deep into first-half stoppage time, at 45 +1 minutes, Thanglalsing Bipin Singh hammered home a third, putting the finishing touch on a brilliant half and giving his side an overwhelming 3-0 lead. At half-time, Chennaiyin faced a seemingly insurmountable uphill battle.

Control and The Clincher in the Second Half:
The second half was a testament to East Bengal’s tactical discipline and dominance. They controlled possession with efficient passing, managing the game’s tempo and expertly stifling any faint hope of a Chennaiyin comeback. The Red and Gold Brigade’s defensive line was impeccable, maintaining focus and ensuring a clean sheet by denying the opposition any meaningful opportunity, not even a consolation goal.

With the result long decided, East Bengal added a final flourish in stoppage time. In the 90 +5th minute, they slotted home a fourth goal, a final exclamation mark to seal the comprehensive 4-0 victory and underscore their total supremacy on the day.

East Bengal’s performance was characterized by ruthless efficiency in attack and impeccable defensive discipline. The scoring sequence—goals at 36′, 40′, 45+1′, and 90+5’—highlights their ability to execute critical strikes both in rapid bursts and at the death of each half.

For East Bengal: This dominant opening victory puts them firmly in the driver’s seat of Group A, positioning them as early favorites to progress deep into the tournament.
