East Bengal FC commenced their ISL 2026-27 title defence with a commanding 4-0 triumph over Churchill Brothers at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda. The match saw early dominance from the defending champions, setting a strong tone for their campaign.
Dani Ramírez opened the scoring within two minutes with a spectacular free-kick. Edmund Lalrindika doubled the lead just before halftime, capitalizing on a well-constructed attacking move. This comfortable two-goal advantage allowed East Bengal to control the game heading into the second period.
In the latter stages of the match, substitute Bipin Singh made a significant impact. He extended East Bengal's lead in the 85th minute with a precise curling effort and then completed his brace five minutes later, sealing an emphatic 4-0 victory. This performance represents the largest win of the season to date.
Churchill Brothers, who had started their season with a win, struggled to convert their attacking intentions into goals. They will now regroup to face Punjab FC next week, looking to rebound from this significant defeat.
