Durand Cup 2025 semi-finals schedule, live match time and streaming

The 134th edition of the IndianOil Durand Cup has shaped up for a thrilling semifinal stage, featuring a blend of tradition, surprise packages, and regional rivalries. After a weekend of intense quarterfinal action, the four teams remaining are East Bengal, NorthEast United FC, Shillong Lajong FC, and debutants Diamond Harbour FC.

 

East Bengal edge Mohun Bagan in fiery derby

 

East Bengal secured their semifinal ticket with a spirited 2-1 win over arch-rivals Mohun Bagan in a pulsating Kolkata Derby. Substitute Dimitrios Diamantakos was the hero, confidently slotting home a first-half penalty before adding a composed finish in the second period. Despite a stunning long-range strike from Anirudh Thapa that briefly threatened a comeback, East Bengal’s defense stood tall to seal a landmark victory, their first top-flight derby win in over a year and a half.
