That's all from us today. Cheers for following Sportskeeda's coverage of the AFC Cup. We will return tomorrow for Mohun Bagan's home match against Maziya from 7 PM IST. Until then, it's goodbye!
Nishu Kumar's 40th-minute strike gave the Blues a first-half lead, while substitute Marjan Jugovic's 82nd-minute goal sealed things. It has been plain sailing for last year's runners-up so far; they will hope to keep it going when they meet Abahani in Dhaka in a fortnight's time.
It's been a comfortable evening for Bengaluru, who maintain their 100 percent winning record in Group E. Abahani have now lost all three of their group stage games and are out of the AFC Cup.
89' Emeka is once again flagged offside after finding himself one-on-one with Ralte. It's not happening today for Abahani against last year's beaten finalists.
Marjan Jugovic strikes his first AFC Cup goal for the Blues. His shot hits the underside of the bar and somehow crosses the goal-line. Two goals are just rewards for Bengaluru who have been the better side all game.
77' BFC drive forward in attack. Lenny's shot from distance is deflected for a corner. The home side are being pushed on for another goal by the cheering supporters here.
71' Jugovic has looked lovely since coming on. The Serbian lines up a long range curler after Chhetri finds him outside the box. The shot, though, is close to Abahani's keeper and easily saved.
67' The resulting corner ends with a chance for Johnson who fails to connect Juanan's square ball from point-blank range. Big chance for Bengaluru there!
61' Chance for Khabra. The right-back is released by Chhetri's defence splitting ball but the former East Bengal man misses a one-on-one. It's a corner for BFC.
