Bengaluru could have easily extended their lead to a formidable 2-0 in the 40th minute of the game when they were awarded a penalty courtesy a foul on Edmund Lalrindika by Tiri.

In the continuous fray of attacking football, Edmund was able to get past the last-line of the Jamshedpur defence and was caught by Tiri inside the Jamshedpur penalty box. Even though the decision doesn’t seem completely fair on the defender, referee Ajitkumar wasted no-time in pointing towards the penalty spot giving BFC the chance to increase the lead.

Xisco who took the kick from the spot went for precision over power as he slides the ball to the right of Subrata Pal who makes no mistake from letting the ball go inside the goal and saves it rather easily.

Subrata who has had a fantastic season 5 of the Indian Super League is one of the contenders for the golden glove and he surely added some valuable points to his kitty with the much-important save.
