Summary

[edit]

The replay final began at the Mohun Bagan Ground in Kolkata on 16 October 1965 after the first game ended in a 0–0 stalemate.

East Bengal and Mohun Bagan both tried to dominate the game once again from the first minute with both the teams creating multiple chances but failed to break the deadlock. Kajal Mukherjee got the best chance for Mohun Bagan in the first half but he missed an open net as the game remained goalless at halftime. The match slowed down in the second half and was almost going to end in another goalless tie, when Ashim Moulik received the ball from Parimal Dey in the very last minute of the game and scored with a powerful long range effort to make it 1–0 for East Bengal as they lifted their eighth IFA Shield title.[1][3][4]
