88' OWN GOAL!Drama! We were waiting for one goal for such a long time and now have two in the span of a few minutes. Ashique Kuruniyan has scored one more goal but this time in his own net. The ball is with Lalthathanga Khawlhring on the right flank and he lays it off for Nishu Kumar who swings in a cross inside the box at the far post. Marko Leskovic collects it and rushes forward before attempting to serve his cross across the face of the goal. Ashique Kuruniyan tries to make the clearance but ends up hitting it in his own net. The match is back on level terms.

84' GOAALLLLLWe were praising Albino Gomes for his last save and he commits an error to hand Bengaluru FC the lead. Ashique Kuruniyan has the ball at his feet on the left flank and he dribbles it past a few KBFC players before pulling the trigger from outside the box. It's to the right of Albino Gomes who fails to catch it cleanly and the ball deflects behind to cross the goal line. Ashique Kuruniyan is ecstatic.

82' Albino Gomes has saved the evening for KBFC. Ashique Kuruniyan takes a long throw-in from the left side and Jeakson Singh jumps to head it at the face of the goal. Cleiton Silva drills it through the line but Albino Gomes reacts well to make the stop. It's not a clean one but Gomes recovers and collects it in the second attempt.

76' The last cross was the final contribution to this match by Udanta Singh as he is replaced by Siva Narayanan.

76' KBFC had a corner kick but it's cleared out and the pair of Prince Ibara and Udanta Singh put in a dangerous counter-attack from the right side.

65' Prasanth Karuthadathkuni has come out to replace Vincy Barretto. It's time to introduce fresh legs.

53' Udanta Singh and Jeakson Singh contest for the ball. Jeakson has it at his feet but Udanta uses his hands to pull him down. The referee leaves him only with a warning

49' A good combination play at the edge of the box between Udanta Singh and Cleiton Silva. The latter receives the ball back and pulls the trigger but it's off target. Albino Gomes anyway had everything covered.

48' Cleiton Silva has the ball at his feet as he runs through the right flank. He, then, turns to pass it towards Suresh Wangjam who swings in a cross inside the box. The intention is to find Sunil Chhetri but the cross has too much pace and elevation as it goes over the BFC captain.
