East Bengal silenced critics with a stunning 4-0 victory over Bashundhara Kings in the AFC Challenge League. After a winless run of nine games, Oscar Bruzon’s men reminded fans why they are a force to reckon with, dismantling the Bangladeshi champions with precision.

Diamantakos scored within seconds, converting a pinpoint cross from Nand Kumar. Shouvik Chakraborty doubled the lead with a thunderous strike, and Nand himself added a third with a solo effort. Anwar Ali’s 33rd-minute screamer sealed the win, leaving Bashundhara with no room to respond.

The win elevates East Bengal to second in the group standings, keeping their qualification hopes alive. Bashundhara, meanwhile, face an early exit after consecutive losses. Bruzon’s squad now looks to build on this momentum as they eye progression to the next stage.
