Just three minutes after Amna had scored the first goal for East Bengal, he was at it again driving through the right flank. After taking on a couple of Arrows’ defenders, the midfielder, who was named the Man of the Match, delivered a low cross into the box.

At first, Amna’s cross seemed a harmless one as it went past the East Bengal forwards. However, the ever-dangerous Katsumi Yusa was lurking on the edge of the box. He met the ball with acres of space inside the box.

The Japanese had one look at Gill, who was making his I-League debut, and saw that the goalkeeper was way off his line. He then dinked the ball in such a manner that it would curl into the top-right corner to compound Arrows’ problems.
