ISL 2017, FC Pune City vs Bengaluru FC, Highlights, As it Happened

Full time: FC Pune City 1-3 Bengaluru FC 

Bengaluru FC get a free-kick in the corner and they play it all the way back to Ralte in goal. 

Last few minutes here in Pune at a stadium where Bengaluru FC have not had the best record before this. 

Chhetri appeals for hand ball after breaking forward on the left, but the defender had his hands tight to his body so he gets away and does not concede a penalty. 

Pune try to force the issue with a counter-attack but Ralte was quick to come off the line and clear. 

Miku who has had 10 shots in the tournament has scored 6 times and has ensured that Bengaluru keep their record of scoring all the goals from inside the penalty box in tact with his goals today. 

Bengaluru are keeping the ball with themselves and playing keep possession as they know Pune have to take the game to them in the final 10 minutes if they want to get anything out of this encounter. 

Ten minutes now for the eleven men of Bengaluru FC to hold on to the 2-1 lead against the ten men of FC Pune City. 

Sunil Chhetri doing his bit in defense as he steals the ball from Kean Lewis, but the counter-attack leads to nothing but a misplaced pass.

Less than 15 minutes to go for Pune to hold on for a point that would be an excellent one in such circumstances. 

Kean Lewis is making good use of his pace and giving Rahul Bheke a tough time on the right wing. 

Pune have done well in defense so far as they have read all the moves and managed to stop them before it develops into something dangerous. BFC also have not been as clinical as usual today. 

20 minutes to go for both sides in Pune. Bengaluru are pushing bodies up in numbers in search of that second goal. 

The visitors are looking dangerous in attack and look like scoring with every move. 

Pune are having to deal with waves of Bengaluru attacks now. 

Pune look to break with Alfaro but a very good tackle from Rahul Bheke keeps BFC safe. 

Bengaluru had another chance to score almost immediately but Braulio is caught in two minds and his shot at goal is rather weak and easily caught by Vishal Kaith. 

Meanwhile BFC have taken Paartalu and Juanan off for Toni Dovale and the playmaker Edu Garcia. 

Every body in Pune colours is defending right now for all they are worth. A win today will take them three points clear at the top of the table, so the incentive is understandably quite a bit. 

Udanta finally gets to use his pace on the right wing as zig zags through two defenders and cuts it back to Chhetri who is unable to finish. Bengaluru sense a chance to mount a comeback and they are going for it without a doubt. 

Kean Lewis has a run on the wing at pace and plays Alfaro through but he is alone in attack and is closed out comfortably. The next half hour is likely to be one way traffic

Pune are defending in numbers which has forced BFC to play in front of them. The passes through the channels have not worked as yet. Khabra finds some space on the right and wins a corner after Kaith palms his cross out. 

Chance for Pune to double their lead on the counter as Alfaro plays it across to Diego and his shot is just off target. BFC clearly missing the services of the commanding Gurpreet. 

Stinging shot in from Chhetri who cuts in from the left but Vishal saves and it goes out for a throw. Another long throw in from Bheke. 

Good distance on the throw by Rahul Bheke put Pune clear out to Diego on the wing. But he can't keep it with him and Bengaluru have a chance to rebuild in attack. 

Chhetri tries to send Subhashish on a run but the pass is read and cleared out all the way back to Ralte
