88' Substitution for Bagan

Anas OFF Bikramjit ON

84' Bagan were nearly punished by Chhangte as a lapse in communication between Shilton and Anas opened a chance for the youngster. Anas, however, takes control of the situation before putting the ball out for a corner.

80' What a match for Balwant Singh as he trudges off the pitch. The striker proved a real nuisance to DSK's defence and was well worth his brace of goals.

Balwant OFF Kean Lewis ON

79' Sony Norde is now showing off here by pulling off all the tricks as Bagan try to play the game at cruising pace. With about 10 more minutes to go, the Mariners have all but sealed the win.

79' DSK nearly score but a couple of ricochets don't help the losing side's cause. Kim Song Yong looks dejected with his missed chance.

73' Substitution for Bagan

63' Substitution for DSK

Narzary OFF Chhangte ON

62' Quero shoots from way out but his effort goes high over the bar. DSK must do better than what they have produced so far. Quero tricks his way into another shooting position but once again shoots over.

60' Chance for Bagan!

Beautiful bit of interplay on the right between Sehnaj and Katsumi before Sehnaj's cross just evades Balwant's diving legs. Bagan are creating the better openings in this half.

57' Juan Quero jinks his way past one Bagan player before passing it out wide to Sanju to cross. Sanju's cross is woefully heavily hit as DSK pass up another chance to equalise.

55' Duffy is brought down as he tries to turn his marker. Norde is on the free-kick but his delivery ends with a DSK goal-kick.

53' Chance for Bagan!

Norde cuts inside from the left and unleashes a fierce right-footed shot which is kept away from heading into the net by Poirei's fingertips.

52' DSK are ramping up the pressure in the 2nd half. Bagan have survived for now, but the Pune outfit should make their ascendency count.
