Mini Kolkata Derby Record

East Bengal vs Mohammedan Sporting

East Bengal also has a minor rivalry against another giant from Kolkata — Mohammedan SC. The rivalry started in the mid—1930s when Mohammedan won five consecutive Calcutta Football League titles between 1934 and 1938, while East Bengal finished runner-up in three of those seasons. East Bengal managed to overtake Mohammedan and bettered their record in the 1970s by winning the league for six consecutive seasons from 1970 to 1975. ^[205] In 1980, the rivalry took another fresh revival as thirteen East Bengal players moved to Mohammedan in a mass exodus from the club. ^[206] However, East Bengal still managed to build a strong team and eventually win the 1980 Rovers Cup jointly with Mohammedan after the game ended 1–1. In the 1990s, East Bengal slowly moved the tide to their favour as the National Football League started and East Bengal remains unbeaten against Mohammedan in the top-tier league in India till date.

Goalscoring Records

• Highest margin of win: East Bengal 7–1 Mohammedan, 6 October 1998 (Calcutta Football League). ^[207]

• Highest margin of defeat: Mohammedan 5–1 East Bengal, 8 January 1960 (Durand Cup). ^[208]

• Most goals against Mohammedan Sporting: Bhaichung Bhutia, 12. ^[208]

• Most goals in a single game against Mohammedan Sporting: Tolgay Ozbey, 4, 14 May 2012 (During the 2011–12 Calcutta Football League). ^[209]

• First hat—trick against Mohammedan Sporting: Tulsidas Balaram (26 September 1959, Semi—Final, IFA Shield). ^[208]
