After a hat-trick of victories in the ISL, Mohun Bagan hit a minor roadblock with a draw against Odisha FC. However, the international break did little to dampen their hunger for success. In a dominant display at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan, Dimitri Petratos and his teammates thrashed Jamshedpur FC 3-0 to reclaim the top spot on the ISL table.

Missing key players like Greg Stewart and Ashique Rai, Mohun Bagan still dictated the game from the onset. Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco wreaked havoc down the flanks, while Petratos showcased his trademark deadly set-pieces. The first goal came in the 15th minute when Tom Aldred smashed in a rebound from a corner.

Jamshedpur had chances, including a near-miss header by Javi Hernandez, but failed to capitalize. Liston Colaco doubled the lead with a brilliant solo effort before halftime. The final nail came in the 75th minute as Manvir Singh set up Jason Cummings for an easy finish.

This commanding victory saw Mohun Bagan reach 17 points from 8 matches, edging Bengaluru FC on goal difference. Fans celebrated with a massive Tifo display, underscoring the unity within the Green and Maroon camp.
