Full Time:
East Bengal 5 - 1 Shillong Lajong FC

A dominating performance from the home side brings in a massive 5-1 win for Khalid Jamil's side who were on the front foot from the start. Shillong committed a couple of mistakes in the defense and gave away too many chances for the Red and Golds. Laldanmawia Ralte grabbed a brace along with goals from Yusa, Ferreira and Al-Amna completing the rout of the Reds.

93' - Odafin finds Kharpan on the right side who controls the ball well with his chest but his cross is a poor one and goes way over for a goal-kick.

90'+1' - Mohd. Rafique takes an effort out of nowhere but Odafin clears with his head and the ball goes out for a throw-in for the home side.

90' - Substitution for Shillong Lajong FC:
Rakesh Pradhan comes off for A. Lyngdoh as the fourth official displays four added minutes.

89' - Another mistake by Lajong defence lets Katsumi Yusa free on the left, who cuts the ball back and tries to find Al-Amna but Doe clears the ball away from the danger.

87' - GOAL!! Shillong get a consolation goal as their skipper Samuela scores a beautiful free-kick beating the diving Mirshad on the left side. Well-taken by the young Shillong captain!

85' - Prakash Sarkar has been booked for his challenge outside the box as Samuel stands over the dead-ball in hopes of getting a consolation goal.

84' - Substitution for East Bengal FC:
The brace scorer Laldanmawia Ralte comes off to loud cheers as Surabuddin Mollick comes on for the final 10 minutes.

83' - Substitution for Shillong Lajong FC:

Alen Deory who had a poor night tonight makes way for Shaiborlang Kharpan

82' - Yellow card has been shown to Daniel Odafin for a rash challenge on Mahmoud Al-Amna as frustrations run ragged in the Shillong players.

78' - GOAL!! Yusa takes the spot-kick and scores past Lachenpa who almost saved it but his touch is not enough to keep the ball out. Khalid Jamil goes down in prayers at the touchline as KEB take a 5-goal lead.

77' - PENALTY!!! Laldanmawia Ralte comes rushing into the box and Tlang brings him down with a push from the back. The ref quickly awards the spot-kick. Will Ralte get his hat-trick or Yusa will take it?

75' - Substitution for East Bengal

73' - Plaza shows his determination and chases down a ball on the right and eventually wins a foul after being brought down by Doe. Free-kick for East Bengal as Yusa delivers a short free-kick to Amna but the Syrian's effort is cleared by the Lajong defense.

71' - Substitution for Kingfisher East Bengal FC:

First change of the night made by Khalid Jamil as Cavin Lobo makes way for Mohd. Rafique comes on for the final 20 minutes.

68 ' - A rare attack from the Lajong side as Deory finds himself in space but his shot is too weak to cause any trouble for Mirshad in the KEB goal.

64' - ANOTHER ONE!! Ralte makes the most of a mistake by the Shillong defence as Doe and Juho fumble in front of the box and Ralte pounced quickly to come in and finish it past the rushing Lachenpa for his second and KEB's fourth of the night. Utter domination from the Red & Golds now.

62' - A mistake by Doe in the Shillong defence almost allows Plaza to capitalise but the defence clears the ball away for a throw-in.

58' - Cavin Lobo is down on the ground as the KEB players crowd the referee accusing Shillong players of intentionally hurting the midfielder. Even Khalid Jamil is seen complaining to the fourth official.

56' - Laurence Doe manages to slide and clear the ball as Shillong were almost caught again as Yusa tried to play Al-Amna and Plaza through on goal. Great defending by the Liberian defender.

54' - East Bengal have begun the second half in pretty much the same fashion as the first with control in the midfield and the hunger to find chances for goals. Khalid Jamil has managed to inspire the Red & Golds well after two poor games in the league so far.

51' - AND IT's THREE!! East Bengal grab their third as Al-Amna finds Ralte who had made a great run from the right. The youngster calmly rounds the keeper and slots it into the open as two diving Shillong defenders are unable to keep the ball out.

50' - The ref awards a free-kick in the middle of the park to Shillong as Bazzou Armand fouls Samuela and Lajong get the ball.
