This has been an exciting contest for both teams and in the end we can say that both teams deserve a point. Mohun Bagan got the early goal but it was Valencia, who put the foot on the gas pedal and upped the ante, eventually getting the equaliser. This has been a great game and Bagan will be happy to come away undefeated. Most importantly, they have the crucial away goal. The all important second leg remains and it ll be a good contest. Sportskeeda will bring you its live coverage. Thank you for joining us.
86' A bit of slowdown in the game as Bagan try to take back momentum from Valencia, who are trying to press forward with a lot of effort. The home side wants a win here
84' Prabir seems to be the only person in the Bagan outfit, who is posing a threat to Valencia, He plays in a cross to Katsumi but the latter cannot control his shot. Poor
78' CHANCE!! Balwant almost gets on the end of cross from Pankaj that reaches the latter through Prabir. Will Mohun Bagan find a goal in the final quarter of an hour? They have got a crucial away goal but do they have more ambition?
76' That is heroic defending from Eduardo, who comes to the rescue after Omodu tricks Anas and Shilton misreads. Bagan have surrendered momentum here. Valencia are attacking and they will be looking for a goal.
75'GOAL LINE CLEARANCE!!! Valencia almost lead there as Shilton miscalculates an attack and comes forward. Eduardo comes to the rescue and clears it from the line
73' This had been coming for the home team and it is nothing more than what they deserve. Valencia have persisted in attack after conceding the goal and it has paid off. They are level.
58' Valencia get a free kick and they try to play a long ball to trouble Bagan but it is rather poorly taken. The home team needs to be really decisive in the final third.
56' Mohun Bagan seem to have realised that they need to put pressure on Valencia. Balwant tries to move forward but Valencia defenders are up to the task
51' Valencia are using the wings quite a lot in this game and they are putting in a lot of crosses. Balwant, on the other end, takes a header and it is well saved by the home team's goalkeeper
48' Valencia are in the attack once again and they are knocking on the door again. They attack on the wing but Anas is on the task and defends the ball well.
Welcome back!! This is Sportskeeda's live coverage of the 2017 AFC Cup qualifier between Mohun Bagan and Club Valencia in Male. Mohun Bagan are leading courtesy a Darryl Duffy goal but Valencia have come back in spirit and will be pressing hard in the second
This has been an excellent half of football and Mohun Bagan will go into the break rather satisfied with the lead. Darryl Duffy scored from a Prabir Das assist to give The Mariners a lead. Valencia have replied but all of those have not resulted in a goal. Prabir has been top class on the right wing, delivering some excellent crosses. Omodu has been the stand out player for Valencia and the home side will be hoping for a revival in the second half. We will be back in 10 minutes.
45' A limited move from Bagan as Prabir crosses and finds Balwant but it is well intercepted. Omodo tries to score at the other end as he takes a shot and it almost finds his winger.
42' Bagan play a couple of long balls to find Duffy and Balwant. Anas looks for today's goalscorer with a long ball but the Valencia defender is up to the task.
40' Subhashish is now called upon into action in defence as Valencia surge forward again. Five minutes remain in the half and Bagan are ahead by the solitary Darryl Duffy goal.
37' Mohun Bagan have been a bit quiet in the past 10 minutes and Valencia are slowly building some momentum. Just as we say that, Katsumi plays a pass to Subhashish, who tries to cross but it is cleared
32' CHANCE!!! Valencia almost get a look on goal as Ahmed makes a run into the box but Paul is quick off his feet and dispossesses the forward to avert danger.
30' Half an hour into the game and The Mariners will be really happy with the way the game has started and they would like to go into half time leading.
25' Valencia are looking a little desperate today and they are now making outlandish efforts. Ahmed lets fly but the shot is weak and is collected well by Shilton
21' Mohun Bagan are controlling the tempo of the game here and there passing has been really good. Valencia have become more organised after conceding the goal.
