Bengaluru's captain, Sunil Chhetri scored a belter to top off an extremely frantic first half between two extremely physical teams. With BFC looking most dangerous from dead ball situations, Sunil was rarely involved in the thick of things. However, like we saw with Jeje tonight, Sunil too showed why world class strikers need only half a chance to punish their opponents.

ATK cheaply conceded possession just outside their own box. The loose ball fell kindly to Chhetri who took a touch before unleashing a venomous long range effort past keeper, Debjit. That goal was his fifth of the campaign in nine games.

Sunil's long ranger had power, dip and swerve. Bengaluru's main man displayed immaculate technique scoring the first goal of the game. It did take a deflection though.
