Bagan did pretty well to come back after conceding an early goal, but their AFC Cup 2017 campaign ends in a far from a satisfactory note. In what was a paddy field of a pitch, a 1-1 result in a game delayed by rain just about sums up the Mariners' AFC Cup 2017 campaign. That's all from us here. Until next time, goodbye!
90+3' Katsumi with another effort, this time from a narrow angle, which is tipped away for a corner. The corner is wasted though, and with it goes Bagan's chance of snatching a winner.
74' Jeje with a chance for Bagan but the striker shoots straight at Sohel, who gathers the ball comfortably. Duffy has worked hard this half without much reward. Jeje should at least have tested the Abahani goalkeeper with his attempt. Bagan 0-1 Abahani.
69' Mid-way through the 2nd half, Katsumi has been at the heart of everything Bagan has done in an attacking sense, but Abahani have been solid at the back so far, aided by the paddy field of a pitch.
58' Emeka has been the most impressive performer today. Another shot is dragged wide here but at least Abahani are firing in attempts, unlike the Mariners.
56' Quick feet from Emeka deceive Kingshuk, who conceded a freekick in a dangerous area. Bagan clear the danger as Brown's delivery is straight at Souvik.
48' Katsumi is fouled here by Miah and earns a freekick. It's a quickly taken set piece which results in a chance for Sehnaj but the midfielder blasts over.
39' Bagan have got the ball to their front three of Katsumi, Jeje and Duffy but the conditions here have meant that those intricate exchanges have gone missing today.
34' Abahani captain Misbah clearly handles the ball inside his own penalty box but the referee waves play on much to the frustration of the Bagan players.
30' Katsumi is absolutely incensed here as the referee doesn't award a freekick for what looked like a clear foul. Things haven't gone Bagan's way so far.
24' It's been a proper old-school tussle here in the rain as the ball barely moves along the ground due to the poor pitch conditions. Abahani have looked more dangerous in these conditions. 0-1
