==Match==
===Summary===
The Federation Cup final began at the [[Sree Kanteerava Stadium|Sampangi Stadium]] in [[Bengaluru|Bangalore]] on 19 May 1985 in front of a packed crowd as two Kolkata giants [[East Bengal Club|East Bengal]] and [[Mohun Bagan FC|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.<ref name=report/><ref>{{cite web|author=SS Shreekumar|date=1 September 2015|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/2015/sep/01/india-must-focus-on-single-league-says-nassiri-808057.html|title=India Must Focus on Single League, Says Nassiri|work=The New Indian Express|access-date=13 November 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Shahid|last=Judge|date=29 October 2022|url=https://scroll.in/field/1036136/kolkata-derby-when-iran-striker-jamshid-nassiri-a-neutral-was-consumed-by-the-famous-rivalry|title=Kolkata Derby: When Iran striker Jamshid Nassiri, a neutral, was consumed by the famous rivalry|work=Scroll|accessdate=2 November 2022}}</ref>
