Full Time: Kingfisher East Bengal FC 2 Aizawl FC 2
An exciting game of football ends in a draw as defending champions Aizawl FC manage to secure a point at the YBK Stadium in Kolkata. East Bengal started the second half on a strong note and scored two goals in a space of six minutes but Aizawl's persistence paid off with William Lalnunfela scoring a brace that included the equalizer at the death. Spoils shared here in Kolkata to the disappointment of the large number of KEB fans at the stadium.
90+4' - AIZAWL SCORE AT THE DEATH!!!! The champions have shown their mettle in the end!!! The corner at the last minute falls to William after a goalmouth scramble and he slots it in to the misery of the home fans and Khalid Jamil as KEB looked set to win the match but Aizawl spoil the party.
90+3' - Muankima cuts in from the right and lets go an effort that is dealt with by the KEB keeper who gloves it away and the ball goes out for a corner as East Bengal aim to hold the lead in the dying seconds.
90+2' - Charles is brought down by two Aizawl midfielders in the centre of the pitch as he tried to shield the ball and gets tangled by the Northeast lads.
90' - Four minutes of added time has been indicated by the fourth official as the score stand 2-1 in favor of the home side as Aizawl look for a late equalizer.
79' - Kareem goes into the ref's book for bringing down Mahmoud Al-Amna who had broken free along beating the Aizawl defenders on the left wing. Free-kick for KEB in a good position.
73' - GOALL!!! Aizawl pull one back!! A free-kick from way out taken by David who floats in a ball and Alfred Jaryan connects with it and puts it across the KEB goal where William Lalnunfela is open to head the ball into the empty goal. Game On here at the YBK!!!
71' - GOALL!!! KEB get their second on the night. Yusa plays it to Rafique in the midfield who has a go from way out and his shot rebounds off Katsumi Yusa and beats the hapless Avilash Paul in the Aizawl goal. Lucky goal for East Bengal but well-deserved for their efforts.
65' - AND THEY'VE SCORED FINALLYY!!! Eduardo Ferreira scores the goal after a flick from Brandon on a Yusa corner from the right. The ball comes off the crossbar and goes over the line as the unmarked Ferreira had a open goal to put the ball in.
64' - East Bengal have been throwing everything that they possess at Aizawl FC but the keeper Avilash Paul in the goal has been the lone man who has kept the score intact so far. Great persistence from the keeper.
62' - Yusa breaks away on a counter and tries to find Plaza but the tackle comes in and the ball falls to Yusa again, he puts in a through ball for Al-Amna but the touch is a little bit too heavy and Aizawl escape again.
61' - All KEB again as a scramble in the Aizawl box almost put Plaza in position for a goal but the Aizawl defense have been like a rock in front of the Trinidadian.
57' - PLAZA!! A cross from the left reaches the point man for KEB who gets a powerful header in but Paul is up to the task and makes a incredible save to keep out the home side again.
56' - A good move on the left wings orchestrated by the Syrian Al-Amna but the cross from Plaza is wayward and Brandon tries to reach it but it gets cleared by the defense.
53' - Al-Amna gets brought down by two Aizawl defenders and calls to the referee for a penalty but the man-in-charge does not deem it fit for a spot-kick.
51' - Chance at the other end!! Aizawl break on the counter and a delivery from the left falls to the striker but the shot is blocked and East Bengal break again with Al-Amna leading the way for KEB.
50' - Avilash Paul almost commits a grave error. Comes out off his line to clear a ball but it falls to Rafique whose shot is not up to the mark and Aizawl stay alive again. KEB are going all-out for the deadlock-breaker.
48' - Another chance for KEB as Al-Amna puts Brandon through on the right and his cross inside the box is in a dangerous position but Aizawl clear it for a corner. Promising by East Bengal.
47' - CHANCE!! A long-ball from the KEB defense causes trouble for the away side as Saighani manages to keep the ball away from Brandon after Paul has rushed in off his line.
