East Bengal FC scripted ISL history with a seismic 7-0 demolition of Mohammedan Sporting Club in the Kolkata Derby on April 6, equalling FC Goa's 2015 record as Anwar Ali's brace and four penalties buried rivals in front of 35,000 roaring Salt Lake faithful. Youssef Ezzejjari (double pen), Saul Crespo (pen), PV Vishnu, and Nandha Kumar piled agony, Anwar's 6th/79th strikes earning MOTM in the biggest margin between these giants.
Coach Carles Cuadrat's high press suffocated MoS, red cards sealing doom—EB's 18 shots on target overwhelmed. This rout catapults EB to 4th (13 points), MoS languishes bottom with 1. Mumbai City watches warily ahead of derby clash. Salt Lake erupted: fireworks lit Maidan, rivalries reignited after 2025 COVID lulls.
ISL surges: Inter Kashi's maiden win vs Kerala (2-1) adds parity, women's league trials pack Kolkata. Global eyes: FIFA ranks derby Asia's fiercest attended. For Mumbai football souls, it's Cooperage envy—ISL viewership hits 2 million/game. EB doesn't win—they demolish, derby dust settling April's fiercest chapter.
