Summary
The Federation Cup final began at the Sampangi Stadium in Bangalore on 19 May 1985 in front of a packed crowd as two Kolkata giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan faced each other in the Kolkata Derby. The match was also a classic rivalry between the two coaches P. K. Banerjee of East Bengal and Amal Dutta of Mohun Bagan, two of the most famous coaches from Bengal at the time. East Bengal started as the favorites with a strong defense consisting of Balai Mukherjee, Monoranjan Bhattacharya, Tarun Dey and Aloke Mukherjee and a star-studded forward line consisting of Krishanu Dey, Biswajit Bhattacharya, Bikash Panji and Jamshid Nassiri. Both teams however canceled each other in the regulation ninety minutes but East Bengal won the match in extra-time after Iranian forward Jamshid Nassiri scored with a 30-yard long-range effort as East Bengal defeated their arch-rival Mohun Bagan 1–0 and lifted their third Federation Cup title.[1][3][4]
