Mumbai FC's Comeback Triumphs over Mohun Bagan in ISL Final: Bipin Singh's Heroics Secure Second Championship Bipin Singh came to haunt Mohun Bagan once again as a gritty Mumbai City FC rode on the midfielder's strike to secure a stunning 3-1 comeback win and grab the ISL title for a second time in front of a partisan Salt Lake Stadium crowd here on Saturday. In front of 62,007-strong crowd, the home side roared into the lead with Jason Cummings (44th) strike at the stroke of half-time. But the Islanders levelled things up when Jorge Pereyra Diaz (53rd) silenced the crowd from Alberto Noguera's magnificent straight pass from the midfield. Their moment of reckoning came in the 81st minute as Bipin came off the bench to score the decisive second goal to help Mumbai snatch the lead. It was Bipin's 90th minute strike that had helped Mumbai City FC win their maiden title in 2020-21 when they overturned an identical 1-0 lead to down Mohun Bagan 2-1. Nine minutes were added to the second-half, and Mohun Bagan had enough time to bring on the equaliser but their forwards lacked the sting and the Islanders nailed the final nail in the coffin with a 90+7th minute strike by subsitute Jakub Vojtus. It also crushed Mohun Bagan's dream of becoming the first team to defend the ISL Cup and complete a rare double of winning the League Winners Shield and the title. Sergio Lobera-coached Mumbai City FC had achieved the rare feat in their memorable 2020-21 season. But it was not a day for Mohun Bagan's shrewd 66-year-old Spaniard tactician Antonio Lopez Habas who appeared in a record fourth ISL final. Three weeks after the Islanders failed to defend the Shield going down to the same team 1-2 at the same venue, the Petr Kratky-coached side dished out a much-improved show right from the start. They controlled the possession and initiated a flurry of attacks with Lallianzuala Chhangte in the thick of things, and also hit the post twice in the first half-an-hour's play. In the 30th minute, Chhangte whipped in a freekick from an angle as it sailed over a scrambling Vishal Kaith, only to hit the crossbar and bounce out. A couple of minutes later, Chhangte outpaced Subhasish Bose, receiving a through ball. Instead of shooting, he passed it back into the six-yard box, but there were no Mumbai men to tap the ball in. Kaith and the Subhasish Bose-led defence stayed under pressure, dealing with Mumbai's attacking threats. Suddenly, Mohun Bagan lifted the atmosphere by storming into the lead. Liston Colaco played a precise pass to Dimitri Petratos who unleashed a thunderous strike from 40 yards out as Lachenpa flapped it back into the six yard box in a sloppy goalkeeping effort. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, Mohun Bagan's chief marksman Jason Cummings sprang into action latching onto the loose ball and calmly chipped it over Phurba Lachenpa with his effortless left-footer. But the lead did not last long as Mumbai equalised soon after the break. A special mention should go to Spaniard Alberto Noguera for his pinpoint accuracy in delivering a sublime pass from the midfield straight into the box. The Mohun Bagan defence was caught off guard by it as the Argentine forward seized the opportunity, effortlessly bypassing Manvir Singh without Anwar Ali to contend with. With a deft left-footed touch, Diaz calmly slotted the ball past Kaith, who stretched out his left leg in a desperate attempt to save, but to no avail. Three years after he struck the winner in a close-door final at Margao, Bipin once again made the difference after he came on the field replacing Noguera in the 69th minute. Chhangte dodged past Joni Kauko and took a weak shot, but Bipin's second attempt deflected off Hector Yuste and into the net, securing the decisive goal. Jakub capitalised on Bipin's hold-up play, receiving the ball and calmly passing it to Vikram Pratap Singh, who then set up Bipin for a shot blocked by Anwar. However, Jakub pounced on the rebound and fired it past the fallen defender to seal the issue.

Giants Clash for Treble Glory: Mohun Bagan Set to Face Mumbai City FC in ISL Final
Giants Clash for Treble Glory: Mohun Bagan Set to Face Mumbai City FC in ISL Final Mohun Bagan will look to cap off their fairytale season with a historic treble as they face Mumbai City FC in the ISL summit clash at Salt Lake Stadium, with 62,000 partisan fans expected to cheer their guts out and paint the stands in green and maroon, creating an electrifying atmosphere here on Saturday. The season began with the Mariners winning the Durand Cup for the first time after 23 years. Having slipped to fifth in the table at midway stage, Antonio Habas took over from Juan Ferrando and led them to their maiden League Winners Shield. Two weeks after they defeated Mumbai City FC 2-1 to win their maiden Shield, the two teams will return to the same venue of Salt Lake Stadium with an aim to complete a rare double in the ISL and a hattrick of titles in one season. As per noted football statistician Hari Prasad Chattopadhyay, the last time Mohun Bagan won three titles or more was more than 23 years back when they had won the erstwhile National Football League (NFL), Federation Cup, Calcutta Premier Division League, Sikkim Gold Cup and Bordoloi Trophy. The coach was India captain Sunil Chhetri's father-in-law Subroto Bhattacharyya. Mumbai City FC have done it before in 2020-21 and the stage will be set for Mohun Bagan to follow suit. ''Statistics have no relevance. We have to continue playing well and complete the circle,'' the 66-year-old Spanish tactician said in the pre-match media interaction. Three years back, Mohun Bagan had squandered a 1-0 lead to to suffer a 1-2 defeat against the same team at the ISL final held in Margao, which was played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But revenge is not on Habas' minds. ''I'm not about revenge; that's stuff you see in movies or with the mafia. It's just another game against tough opponents, and it's going to be a great show for the ISL,'' Habas said. The target however is to finish the game in ''45 minutes'', said Habas making it clear that he will go all-out in attack with Anirudh Thapa, Jason Cummings, Dimitri Petratos and Manvir Singh. Asked about this strategy, he said: ''To finish it in 45 minutes.'' ''Obviously we don't want to go to extra team. It's hot out there so better to finish it in 90 minutes.'' The 66-year-old, who has two ISL titles one Winners Shield making him the most successful coach of the top-tier league, further said he's in the fag-end of his career. ''I'm in the final stage of my coaching career and it's a proud moment for me.'' Mohun Bagan's attack will be boosted by a fit-again India midfielder Sahal Abdul Samad who came off the bench to strike the winning goal against Odisha FC in the return leg ISL semi-final. While Sahal will be fit, Armando Sadiku will miss the match. Mumbai City on the other hand will bank of Vikram Pratap Singh and Lallianzuala Chhangte, while their Dutch midfielder Yoell van Nieff will miss out because of suspension. ''For last four years, ISL battle is all about Mumbai and Mohun Bagan who are fighting for this Shield and Trophy. The recipe for our success has been to stay together and play together. When the season began, we were a group, now we have become a family and we have to play like one.'' Mohun Bagan have frequently struggled to maintain their lead and have conceded goals due to defensive lapses, a vulnerability that Mumbai City FC head coach Petr Kratky will surely be mindful of and seized the momentum. ''Players want to play in front of packed stadium, I think it will be an extra motivation to do well,'' he said. He further said losing the Shield was difficult. ''We knew what was at stake, it's always hard. We tried to regroup put ourselves together. A couple of training sessions the spirit was little down, but now we are good to continue.''

TRAVEL TIPS: North Goa or South Goa? Know what is best for first time tourist
As soon as you hear the name Goa, pictures of beautiful beaches start floating in your mind. Most Indians dream of visiting this smallest state at least once in their life. This state is divided into North and South. In such a situation, many people remain confused as to which is the better place to visit in North and South Goa. Manohar International Airport is close to North Goa, whereas if you want to stay in South Goa then book a flight ticket for Goa International Airport. Talking about rail connectivity, both the big railway stations Margao and Vasco-da-Gama are in South Goa. It is difficult to compare where are the more beautiful beaches in North and South Goa. In the northern part, you can visit Anjuna, Baga, Candolim, Morjim, Calangute, Vagator, and Arambol beaches, while in the southern part, you can visit Miramar, Caranjalem, Dona Paula, Colva, Butterfly Beach, and Canninginim Beach. If you are fond of shopping, then there are many budget markets for you in North Goa from where you can buy souvenirs. You can visit Arpora Market, Anjuna Flea Market, Mapusa Market, and Mackiss Night Bazaar. Apart from this, many local markets will be found in Panjim, the capital of Goa. There are options like Collem, Palolem, and Kaculo Market in South Goa. If we talk about hotels and food, North Goa is more budget-friendly. Here you will find hotels and homestays at low prices. At the same time, you may have to spend more money to live in South Goa. However, if you are looking for peace then spend some money and book a luxury resort in South Goa. Very few people know that there is no dearth of waterfalls in this smallest state of India. In the North, you can enjoy Harvalem, Heaverem, and Charwane Waterfalls. If we talk about South, Dudhsagar, Netravali, Kuskem, Bamanbudo, and Tambdi Surla will be seen. (PC: Zee news)

Cong could hold back-to-back events in Goa LS seats due to infra development by Modi govt: BJP
Cong could hold back-to-back events in Goa LS seats due to infra development by Modi govt: BJP The ruling BJP in Goa on Wednesday claimed the opposition Congress could hold poll-related events in both Lok Sabha constituencies in the state within a gap of few hours thanks to the ''superb'' infrastructure put in place by the Narendra Modi government that made commuting easy for people. The Congress on Tuesday held Lok Sabha election campaign meetings - first at Patradevi in North Goa constituency at 9 am and later at Margao in South Goa poll campaign at 12.30 pm. The grand old party could hold and finish both its events in time as the leaders of INDIA bloc were seen travelling in a bus from Patradevi to Margao, which is a distance of 80 km. Talking to reporters, Goa BJP chief Sadanand Shet Tanavade said the Congress could complete both its events in time thanks to the infrastructure created by the Modi-led NDA government. ''From North to South, the Modi-led government has created road infrastructure and bridges which has made commuting easier. This is the strength of the BJP and its government,'' he said. But if the Congress ruled the Centre, the leaders would have got stuck in the traffic, he alleged. The BJP launched a campaign on social media on Tuesday, claiming that the Congress could hold both its functions owing to the roads developed by the BJP government. BJP wrote on social media that it was possible for Congress to make a bus trip from Margao to the Patradevi border in North Goa, give speeches and return to Margao in time to launch the South Goa campaign only because of the ''superb'' road infrastructure built by the BJP's ''double-engine sarkar''. ''If the Congress was in power, they (party cadres) would have got stuck near the Zuari bridge and then at the Mandovi bridge. The Atal Setu and New Zuari bridge are architectural marvels and a testimony to BJP's good governance and 'Modi Ki Guarantee','' the party's media post said.

All the programmes being inaugurated by the Centre were initially started by me: Mamata Banerjee
All the programmes being inaugurated by the Centre were initially started by me: Mamata Banerjee West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed on Tuesday that all the programmes that are being inaugurated by them (the Centre) were started by her. When Anandpur Sahib completed 300 years of existence, I was the rail minister and I built the railway station. Many railway stations in India, be it Ajmer Sharif, dakhineshwar, Anandpur Sahib and others including Kamakhya station, I was the one responsible. Today, all the programmes that are being inaugurated by them (the Centre) have been started by me, Mamata Banerjee said. Mamata Banerjee mentioned how she faced criticism even after working not just for West Bengal but for other states too. I have spent hundreds of crores for Bengal. Back then, people used to verbally abuse me, saying, Mamta is only for Bengal, she is doing everything for Bengal.. Is Anandpur Sahib in Bengal? Delhi Metro would not have been there if I wasn't the rail minister. I can challenge them, that's how sure I am. Who was responsible for the Railway Vikas Corporation in Mumbai? I started it. Who brought the anti-collision device? I did it in Goa's Margao, Mamata Banerjee said. Mamata Banerjee emphasized her proactive role during crises, citing an instance during her tenure as the railway minister when she swiftly responded to the earthquake in Kutch, Gujarat. Do you know that when an earthquake occurred at Kutch in Gujarat, I was the railway minister. Atal Ji was the prime minister back then but he was not like this (the current PM). I respect him. Atal Ji asked, 'Mamta, what will happen if we can't transport the (relief) materials? People will die without food. I replied, saying that I needed just a single night and that I would do something about it. I laid down an entire railway line in a single night. The rail line, which took 4 years to establish, I completed in just a single night. All the materials from Delhi, such as food, were transported there. You all don't know anything about this. Meanwhile, TMC is set to hold a roadshow against CAA in Siliguri, West Bengal, on March 13. According to West Bengal Minister Aroop Biswas, CM Mamata Banerjee will take part in the roadshow, which will commence from Mainak and conclude at Venus More in Siliguri. (ANI)
