What Happened

The 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) season commenced with Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) defeating Kerala Blasters 2-0 in Kolkata. Brazilian winger Robson Robinho, who joined MBSG from EC Agua Santa, played a notable role in the match, making several attempts on goal, although he did not score.

Why It Matters

Robinho’s presence in the ISL is significant as he brings experience from his successful tenure in South Asian football, particularly with Bashundhara Kings, where he scored 64 goals and provided 49 assists in 97 appearances. His performance in the opening match indicates his potential to contribute to MBSG’s title defense this season.

What’s Next

As the season progresses, Robinho’s fitness will be crucial for MBSG. Reports of an injury during the match raise concerns for coach Sergio Lobera and fans alike. The team will look to maintain momentum in upcoming fixtures while monitoring Robinho’s recovery.
