Bengaluru FC will take on Hyderabad FC in the second semi-final of the Durand Cup 2022 on Thursday, September 15, at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.
Bengaluru FC won two and drew two of their group stage games to qualify for the quarter-finals where they defeated 10-man Odisha FC 2-1. The two teams played out a goalless 90-minutes of regulation time before Sivasakthi Narayanan gave the Blues the lead in the 98th minute.
However, a few minutes later, Odisha FC got themselves back into the game through a Diego Mauricio goal. Just when it looked like the match was heading into penalties, Roy Krishna powered a goal in the final few seconds to seal Bengaluru FC a place in the semis.
