That's all from the live coverage from Bengaluru's Sree Kanteerava Stadium as Bengaluru win 2-1 against NorthEast United FC to climb atop the Hero ISL standings. This is Gaurav Kadam, signing off. See you soon!
Sunil Chhetri's second-half goal lifts the Blues to the top of the ISL standings as the defence puts in a good shift to keep out the pressure from the Highlanders. The NorthEast United side played well and did not allow Bengaluru to assert control over the game.
90+3' - NorthEast United keep on attacking the goal and a cross is volleyed by Marcinho but the effort is blocked by Johnson and the ball is out for a corner.
80' - Nirmal Chhetri makes a good run on the right flank and crosses it in for Mosquera but the substitute is unable to keep his header down and the ball goes over.
67' - Sunil Chhetri breaks on the left wing and has plenty of time to find his teammate in the box but the cross isn't good and goes way over the goal.
50' - GOAL!! Chhetri has put the home side ahead!! A cross from the right is mishandled by Sambinha and Chhetri pounces to put it past Rehenesh with a great finish from an acute angle.
A good half of football comes to an end in Bengaluru as the sides go into the break on level terms. Juanan gave the home side the lead with a free-kick header but NorthEast United continued to attack and were rewarded with a penalty. Marcinho did the honors to level it up for the Highlanders.
44' - PENALTY !!! Northeast United are awarded a penalty after Subhashish Bose's hand strikes the ball as Doungel tried to get past him. Marcinho steps up to take the spot-kick.
40' - Nirmal Chhetri has been booked for a late challenge on Edu Garcia who tried to cut in and tripped off the extended leg. Nirmal will miss the next fixture against FC Goa as this was his fourth booking of the season.
36' - SO CLOSE!!! A brilliant pass through the centre for Edu Garcia by Lenny Rodrigues as Garcia finds himself up against Rehenesh but his effort is a poor one and goes wide of the goal.
22' - Marcinho puts in a corner from the right but Paartalu heads it away from the box. The rebound falls to Marcinho again but his effort is again kept out by the Bengaluru defence.
14' - GOAL!! A free-kick for dangerous play by Doungel haunts the visitors. Edu Garcia crosses in the ball and Juanan just glances it goalwards as Rehenesh has no chance of saving it.
11' - Good move from the visitors as Marcinho's pass deflects onto the path of Narzary who cuts in after dodging past Khabra but the Bengaluru defence clear its lines.
9' - Both the sides have been lax in possession but Bengaluru have looked more dangerous going ahead so far. Northeast have sat back and tried to catch them on the counter.
5' - Miku brings down Goncalves as the ref asks him to go out of the boundary for receiving treatment. Northeast United players surround him and protest the decision.
