HALF TIME! It remains goalless between SC East Bengal and ATK Mohun Bagan after 45 minutes of play at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco, Goa. Chances fell to both the teams but none could break the deadline. Roy Krishna and David Williams have been ineffective for ATKMB so far while Prabir Das has looked lively. For SCEB, Anthony Pilkington would love a lot more service in order to make some impact but their moves have been quite penetrative.

A minute's silence is being observed in the memory of former Indian football greats PK Banerjee and Chuni Goswami.

"It's one of the biggest derbies in the world. As footballers, you want to be a part of such big games on big stages, so I'm looking forward to it. I don't look deep into the magnitude of the game, whether it's the Kolkata derby or any other match, it's all the same. All are important, so I don't let emotions get to me. The derby has a rich history and its roots run deep in Indian football. Now, hopefully, I get a chance to be part of it. The Kolkata derby is good for Indian football and the fans, but we live in the present and I have to do my job, just like the rest of the team - to get the three points and the clean sheet."
