Hello and welcome to the live coverage from the AFC Cup as Bengaluru FC host Maldivian side New Radiant SC at the Kanteerava stadium.

Bengaluru FC are all set to face off against New Radiant FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru, tonight.

The Blues have had a stellar season so far, and have played some exciting brand of football under manager Albert Roca, and managed to finish top of the ISL table in the recent;ly concluded season. However, tey failed to notch up a win in their summit clash against Chennaiyin FC, who ran away with their second ISL title in the end.

Despite this loss, however, the Blues will be looking to end the season with some kind of silverware, as they are still in contention in the AFC Cup and the Indian Super Cup.

Sunil Chhetri and Co have been impeccable in the AFC Cup, so far. The Clues have won both of their AFC Cup South Asian group stage matches so far. These results have propelled them to the top spot in the group.
