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.
