Minerva Punjab FC kept the pressure on East Bengal after taking the lead with their rock-solid defence and good counter-attacking play.

The visitors were rewarded again just 13 minutes after scoring their first goal when Bhutanese import, Chencho Gyeltshen, who is fondly called the 'Bhutanese Ronaldo' got his name on the scoresheet doubling the lead for the Punjab side.

A defensive scramble at the top of the East Bengal box led to Armand Bazie and Eduardo Ferreira clashing into each other. The chaos saw the ball fall into the path of the lethal Chencho who turned and slotted it into the left bottom corner with a calm and composed finish.
