After a gruelling round of matches in the group stage, the Durand Cup 2023 transcends to the quarter-finals with eight elite teams clashing against each other for a place in the semi-finals. The first quarter-final fixture will pit two of the most popular teams in Indian football as Mohammedan SC takes on Kerala Blasters on September 9, at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two clubs and Mohammedan will enter the game as slight favourites after topping their group and remaining unbeaten in a pool that included the likes of ISL giants Bengaluru FC.
Mohammedan are the runners-up of the previous edition of the Durand Cup and will be eyeing to crown themselves as the champions of the coveted tournament this time around. Club captain Marcus Joseph, center-forward Faslurahman Methukayil, and winger Pritam Singh have been on fire for the Black Panthers throughout the group stage. The Kolkata side will fancy their chances against a second-string Kerala Blasters.

Blasters have had an absolute fairy tale run in the competition. They have put in a strong display so far, despite fielding a reserve team, and have just a solitary defeat in their tally. The Tuskers qualified for the quarter-finals under the tutelage of their U-18 coach Tomasz Tchorz and they did it with relative ease. But against a well-drilled Mohammedan side, the Blasters will have to be at their best to go through to the semis.
