The Stakes: A Bittersweet Farewell for Jamshedpur FC
Both sides go into this quarterfinal with very different stories driving them.
Mohun Bagan SG: The Mariners have kept a perfect winning record so far under Panagiotis Dilmperis, and the Greek boss appears determined to win his first piece of silverware in Indian football.
With almost a fully available squad including all his foreign players, Dilmperis will push his side to play thrilling, attacking football built on incisive forward moves and intelligent transitions. A big win would raise momentum further, while defeat after such a strong group stage would be a bitter setback.
Jamshedpur FC: This represents the Durand Cup as Jamshedpur’s final competition under their current identity, with players set to officially represent Churchill Brothers from September 2026 onward. Winning the tournament would be a lasting gift to their devoted supporters.
Head coach Kaizad will push his players toward an energetic, hard working performance designed to close down spaces and restrict Mohun Bagan’s natural game, while also urging unpredictability in attack to entertain the fans one final time.
Team News

Players to Watch in the Quarterfinal Showdown
Two forwards look set to play a decisive role in this clash.
Jamie Maclaren (Mohun Bagan SG): Poised for his first start under Panagiotis Dilmperis, Maclaren made a strong impact off the bench in the 6-0 thrashing of CISF Protectors during the group stages. The top scorer for Mohun Bagan in the 2025-26 season, having netted 10 goals in the ISL that campaign, he’ll look to torment Jamshedpur’s defenders with perfectly timed off-the-ball runs and clinical finishing in the box.
Mohammed Sanan K (Jamshedpur FC): One of the most exciting talents in this all-Indian Jamshedpur squad, Sanan has already scored once in the group stages and proven a constant thorn for opposition defenders. His pace and tricky movement will be key to adding freshness to Jamshedpur’s attack, and he’ll need to be decisive in the final third if the Men of Steel are to trouble the Mariners on the counter.
