Mohun Bagan was on the up after equalizing with Dicka's tap-in goal in the 31st minute of the match. They kept pushing for the leading goal with constant barrages on the NEROCA defence from all fronts.

The away side was rewarded in the added time of the first half when a cross put in by Nikhil Kadam into the box found Yuta Kinowaki open. The Japanese midfielder nodded the cross into the path of Lebanese striker Akram Moghrabi who made no mistake in finishing an easy goal into the net.

The first half ended 3-2 in favour of the Mohun Bagan side as they came back twice from going down in the match to take the lead in a volatile first half of the match.
