Heading into their clash with Punjab, East Bengal sat 11th in the table. However, a commanding 3-1 win has shaken things up! Now one spot higher and level on points with two other teams, the Red and Gold Brigade have a slim but real shot at the playoffs.

With three games left, East Bengal must win all of them to keep their playoff dream alive. But it’s not just in their hands—they’ll be hoping Kerala, Punjab, and Chennaiyin drop points while also relying on a slip-up from one of the teams currently in the top six (presumably those placed 4th-6th).
