Alan Costa leaps up highest and thumps the header into the net! BFC have been on the attack since the last five minutes and their aggressive play has been fruitful.

13' Ashique Kuruniyan has been shown the first card of the game as he pulls back Javier Hernandez and stops the possible counter-attack.

12' Nandhakumar Sekar should have scored! He was set through on goal on the left and has a defender to his right. He cuts it back onto his right foot, he has two players to his right but does not opt to pass it and takes a shot. It is straight to the keeper who makes no mistake.
