86' BFC continue to push the envelope but Mumbai are staying put every time. Udanta wins the ball and his cross from the edge of the box lets gives a clear chance to Lyngdoh, who takes a shot from his left foot but sprays it wide. BFC have been terribly profligate today.
82' GOAL LINE CLEARANCE from Sharath!!! Heroic stuff from the Mumbai defender. Patient build up from BFC as Khabra, Daniel, Udanta and Vineeth combine to get the final ball to Chetri, who turns beautifully and shoots, beats the goalkeeper but not the defender. BRILLIANT FOOTBALL
81' Mumbai with some of their own attacking moves in a couple of minutes. Densil and D'Silva both take shots from outside the box but fail to hit the target.
79' Mumbai have been really poor with their crossing today and despite creating a lot of width on the right wing, the supply has not been there for Sawhney in the second half. They look to be happy playing deep into their own half by sitting and absorbing pressure
76' Great defending from Mumbai as they combine really well to avert a dangerous chance for BFC. Chetri, Daniel and Khabra combine to produce a chance and Vineeth tries to take a shot but the ball is well defended.
74' FREE KICK to Bengaluru FC! Watson plays a pass to Daniel and he is pushed from the back. Good position. Chetri goes for it from 25 yards but it is high and not handsome at all. Just not working for Chetri today
71' THIS GAME HAS COME ALIVE!! Chances on both end. First, Mumbai produce excellent football to force a brilliant piece of defending from Jhingan, who intercepts a lovely cross that would have easily found Sawhney. Bengaluru then almost scores as a fumble from the goalkeeper leaves Daniel with an open goal but he skies it. PULSATING STUFF THIS
69' End to end play here as both goalkeepers are called into action. Heading into the last 20 minutes of the game and we are yet to see a goal despite seeing a lot of chances.
67' CHANCE!! Watson delivers a beautiful ball inside the box and Sandesh Jhingan heads it just wide. Should have done better and hit the target. Bengaluru FC are growing in confidence here and we could soon see a goal
66' SHOT! Vineeth called into action again as he receives another ball and although he seems offiside, the flag stays down and he takes a shot, on target but not good enough
64' SHOT!! Vineeth into action straightaway as he receives the ball on the edge of the box and makes a dart towards the Mumbai defence, evades a couple of defenders before taking a rather wayward shot. Vineeth looking good here. Bengaluru need his directness
62' CHANCE!!! Watson gets into a good position inside the box and meets Khabra's cross but there is not enough power on it. Mumbai break on the counter and Thoi tries to take a shot from the edge of the box and it is eventually parried to safety after Arindam makes a hash of it
55' Mumbai are putting pressure on BFC and creating a lot of width here. Silva receives the ball deep on the left wing but the Udanta-Khabra combination averts the danger. Good composure from BFC
53' CHANCE!! Excellent work from Munmun as he wins the ball in midfield and then goes out wide to whip a lovely ball in that is met by Sawhney but Arindam is up to the task. Should have done better
52' Daniel, Udanta and Chetri combine to string together some slick passes but Danie overruns and is not able to receive a pass from Chetri. Signs looking good for BFC
46' Bengaluru attacking from the word go as they surge forward. Khabra plays a good pass and then Chhetri tees up Udanta to get in a cross but it is well defended by Mumbai
45+3' Bengaluru FC almost get an outlet as Chhetri plays the ball to Daniel just outside the box and he gives it Udanta but his cross is intercepted. Mumbai break on the counter but Silva's shot is poor
44' Arindam gets on the ball for the first time after Watson plays it back to him. Bengaluru trying to control possession here and are playing out from the back.
41' SAVED!!!! Alwyn almost scores there as he feeds off a period of persistence from Bengaluru, who attack through Udanta and Daniel on the right win. Mumbai survive.
38' FREE KICK to Mumbai! A lobbed ball is played to Farukh and he controls it before being fouled by Ranjan. Da Silva takes it and bangs it into the ball, following which it falls to Reagean, who whips in a cross but Munmum skies it way above
33' Thoi let's fly from outside the box but Amrinder is not perturbed as it is a regulation catch for him. Mumbai regain possession at the back but they try to play another long ball. REPETITIVE
31' A third of the game has now been played and Mumbai are trying to play long balls to Farooq but the Bengaluru defence is not letting him have any of it.
Bengaluru FC have started the game really well here in Mumbai and are pressing really well. They have created a couple of chances till now and several half chances but none of them have gotten converted into a goal.
