Aizawl

1 - 1

Bengaluru

B. Vanlalremdika 40' Goal

45' S. Chhetri

FT: That's it! It's 1-1, and probably the right result, given the proceedings.

92' Ball into the box! The ball falls to the head of Ralte, he heads it, and it goes way over the bar! Chance to steal it!

89' Lovely play by Laldanmawia on the right, he cuts it back for Jaryan who skies his shot way way over!

86' That looked like a penalty, with Len chasing a ball from over the top. The ref doesn't call it, and has to watch Albert Roca going nut at the touchline.

84' Waston with another corner for Bengaluru FC, the ball evades the players in the box, falls to Mandar who tries volleying it, but scuffs it out! That was opportunity for BFC.

83' Bengaluru FC are going all out! CK Vineeth comes on for Lenny.

78' CLOSE!! Lovely play, the ball in from the left by Jayesh Rane is good, it falls to Laldanmawia, he heads it towards Bayi who tries chesting it goalwards, but goes wide.

76' Ball into the box, Amna hits the ball into the box, it falls to Brandon who can't control it with his first touch.

Commotion as Amna is down near the midway line, the players from both teams are involved in a scuffle. The ref seperates them, no cards though.

68' Long ball into the box, Sunil Chhetri behind Kingsley, the ball falls to him but hits his waist and goes behind for a goalkick.

66' Aizawl with a corner. The first one for the in the second half, the ball is headed but is directly at Amrinder.

62' Bengaluru FC have totally bossed the second half, Aizawl have hardly got into the opposition the box.

60' ALMOST! Sandesh Jhingan heads it across, Albino Gomes was caught under the ball, as the ball hits the back of the net. Ref calls for a foul!

58' Aizawl players after some backs to wall defending have pumped up, and or in the front foot again. The ball on the top though is handled by Bayi.

Almost every player came to congratulate Albino for that save. The crowd has found their voice again.

54' SAVED! Albino Gomes saves to his right!

52' Another corner for Bengaluru FC as Watson swings it in, PENALTY!

49' CHANCE! Lovely header from Sunil Chhetri from a cross, but Albino Gomes does brilliantly to save it with his foot. CHANCE!

48' Lovely play in the midfiled region again, Bayi to Jaryan the ball eventually falls to Rane who tries to feed Asutosh on the right. The ball had to be perfect, but this one is just over-hit.

47' There are much more spaces to work with for Bengaluru FC's midfield as they play between the lines.

46' Bengaluru start the second half as they started the first. Pressing high and passing well.

HT: Both teams go level, Bengaluru FC have been poor, a shadow of the side who went into the final of the AFC Cup. Aizawl have been largely the better side, from open play. Udanta and Sunil Chhetri have looked like a threat, but apart from that Bengaluru FC haven't been afforded much joy.

Jaryan and Bayi have been the standout performers for Aizawl, but they need to take their opportunities which they create in the second half. Otherwise, Bengaluru FC with their quality might shine through at the end.

45' SUNIL CHHETRI! GOAL! Sunil Chhetri takes a volley from around 30 yards out, arrows it to the top corner.

40' Aizawl hit Bengaluru FC on the counter, Asutosh puts the ball on a plate via a lovey cross from the right. It is finished easily by Brandon!

GOAL! Brandon!

39' Two back to back opportunities for Bengaluru FC. First Sunil Chhetri and then Udanta. Sunil's sidefoot was blocked by Kingsley, and Udanta's shot was just wide. CLOSE!

36' Kamo Bayi with some lovely play on the right, he crosses, but unfortunately for him, the ball is behind the onrushing Brandon and Amna. Good opportunity!

34' It has been attack versus defence, Bengaluru FC with their backs to the goal at the moment. Jaryan dictating things with Jayesh Rane beside him.

31' OOOOOHHH! Close! A ball from deep, the ball falls to the head of Amna off Harmanjit Khabra, his header leaves Amrinder Singh stranded, the ball hits the post and comes back.

29' Lalramchullova with some good defending as he thwarts Udanta Singh one on one on the left. It could have been potentially dangerous for Aizawl there.

27' Lovely play in the middle between Brandon, Jaryan and Amna. They play around the Bengaluru FC midfield too easily, the Syrian tries to find Bayi, but just overhits his cross.

25' CHANCE! Bayi with a lovely piece of skill to go past Salam Ranjan and cross the ball, Rane challenges for it, and Amrinder just gets a hand to it in the nick of time. Lovely play by Aizawl.

23' Ashutosh Mehta decided to take revenge on Daniel as he kicks him on the calf. Yellow card for his troubles as well. Fiesty game so far.

21' Sandesh Jhingan with a sliding challenge, he catches Asutosh Mehta with his leading foot. Although he gets a bit of the ball, he manages to get enough of the man to earn a yellow card.

19' Sunil Chhetri has been playing behind the striker, and has been already more effective than most of the games when he played on the left.

16' Amna is brought down at the edge of the box, the referee plays a magnificent advantage (or does he?) as Kame hits a volley. Straight at Amrinder Singh though.

13' Bengaluru FC with a great opportunity to break the ice, Sunil Chhetri earned and took a freekick at the edge of the box, only to see their captain just hit it over.

11' Aizawl have warmed their way into their game, Bayi is causing a lot of problems. This time, a last ditch challenge from Salam Ranjan saves th day (for now). Ashutosh also found himself in an attacking area, but took too long as Ralte took the ball off him.

9' Jayesh Rane with the corner for Aizawl, he floats it to the back post where Bayi and Kingsley were waiting. His header down though is not strong enough.

7' Lovely through-ball from Jaryan, Kamo makes a good run into the box, but is flagged offside. The offside line was almost broken there!
