42' GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL! Jayesh Rane scores. (Bengaluru C)
Subhasish Roy Chowdhury makes a mess of a contentious shot from distance from Jayesh Rane. The strike was close to the NEUFC goalkeeper but the late dive from the latter allows the ball to sneak in on to the bottom left corner of the goal as the Blues go 3-2 ahead. Goals galore!

23' OWN GOAL! Mashoor Shereef puts the ball into his own net. (Bengaluru FC)
That is unbelievable! What did Mashoor Shereef just do there? He is gutted with himself. Shereef is now finally helped onto his feet. BFC restore their lead in a lucky manner. A cross from the left by Ashique Kuruniyan hits the post and then goes out to an attacker on the right. He strikes it towards goal but Subhasish Roy does brilliantly to get back on his feet and pull out a brilliant save. The ball then falls to Mashoor Shereef who is a few yards away from the goal but he ends up clearing it into his own net.
19' Suhair gets the ball to Mathias Coureur from the left. Coureur delays his shot from inside the box and is eventually outmuscled by Alan Costa.
17' GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL! Deshorn Brown. (NorthEast United FC)
and, it is all square in no time. VP Suha floats in a cross from the left to find Deshorn Brown in the centre who outmuscles Yrondu Musavu-King with his movement and taps it home past a stranded Gurpreet Sandhu at goal. It is 1-1.
14' GOAAAAAAAAAAAL! Cleiton Silva (Bengaluru FC)
A defence-splitting ball from Udanta Singh finds Cleiton Silva on the through, who skips past Subhasish at the NEUFC goal to round him and score into an empty net. Brilliant link-up play from the Blues. Bengaluru FC lead 1-0.
11' Udanta Singh makes a good run down the right. The final pass is lacking though. He tries to chip it into the box for a forward but it goes straight towards the keeper
7' Best chance of the game so far! Another chance for NEUFC! Deshorn Brown at it again. He gets the ball in the box on the left. He cuts in and then goes for the near post. Ends up dragging it just wide. Should have hit the target.
4' BFC have not begun well! The game, for now, is being played in their half and they are struggling to get out of it.
2' Laldanmawia Ralte gets a ball in from the right to Deshorn Brown who attempts an overhead kick, wide of the goal.
1' KICK-OFF!
