Half-time Stats
Here are the statistics from the first half of Hyderabad FC vs SC East Bengal! The possession is pretty much equal but East Bengal have been more clinical as their one shot on target made it into the back of the net. Hyderabad have had three shots on target but none could trigger the scoreboard.
HALF TIME
That's it for the first 45 minutes! Lots of action there with Hyderabad FC dominating early on but SC East Bengal getting the goal against the run of play. Jacques Maghoma scored SC East Bengal's first goal in the Indian Super League to give them a 1-0 lead over Hyderabad FC. Hyderabad had a chance to level it up right before half time when they got a penalty but Aridane's effort was saved by Debjit as the dramatic first half came to an end.
Hyderabad FC 0-1 SC East Bengal
HALF-TIME!!! An eventful half at Tilak Maidan. Hyderabad should have equalized from the spot late in the half but Maghoma's goal remains the difference between the two sides.

42' | Stunning piece of skill from Asish Rai on the right flank. He back heels the ball over his marker's head and then turns around to collect the ball and move up. He even lays a good ball up for Poojary, who pulls it back in the middle straight to Maghoma.

Poojary's Big Miss
28' | WHAT A MISS FROM NIKHIL POOJARY! Yasir whips in a brilliant cross in the middle and Poojary moves away from Narayan Das and is left completely unmarked. He gets a free header but makes a complete howler of it!

JACQUES MAGHOMA SCORES FOR SCEB
26' | GOAL! And Jacques Maghoma has made history for SC East Bengal! He scores the team's first ISL goal to put them in lead against Hyderabad FC. Anthony Pilkington does extremely well to recover the ball from a Subrata Paul palm out, takes it to the left flank and looks up from the side of his to put a straight ball back towards the middle for Matt Steinmann. Steinmann plays the ball in the middle for an onrushing Maghoma, who slots it home.

Robbie Fowler is sporting a black armband in memory of Gerard Houllier, who passed away at the age of 73 on Monday. Houllier was responsible for rebuilding Liverpool from Premier League underachievers to treble-winning side in 2001.
We are just five minutes away from the kick-off as both teams are likely to go hard for the win here.
East Bengal picked up their first point of the season in their previous match when they held Jamshedpur FC to a goalless draw. Will they be able to get a win this time around?
Having picked up their 1️⃣st #HeroISL point in their last match, can @sc_eastbengal clinch their 1️⃣st win against @HydFCOfficial in #HFCSCEB? 💪

HFC-SCEB STATS IN COMPARISON
Hyderabad FC have let in only two goals so far this season, which is the best defensive record at the moment. SC East Bengal, on the other hand, have not scored a single goal. Can they break the deadlock against the best defence of the league?
Hyderabad FC are missing Aridane Santana, Joel Chianese and Lluis Sastre with injuries. As a result, they are lacking in quality up front to convert the chances they are creating. Can they rise to the challenge today?
Looking for their 1️⃣st goal in the #HeroISL, can @sc_eastbengal breach @HydFCOfficial's defence who have let in only 2️⃣ goals in 4️⃣ matches? 🤔

Hyderabad FC have scored just one goal from open play (three altogether) and have the least shot accuracy of 20.68 per cent in this campaign. On the other hand, SC East Bengal are yet to open their account in the scoring department. The match-up is likely to be a low-scoring affair given the statistics that both teams hold at the moment.
Hyderabad FC coach Manuel Marquez brushed aside the talks of his team being under pressure and said, "Our team is playing good football and we don't have pressure. For me, the best thing at this moment is to know is that the performance of these guys without foreigners is fantastic and we have to improve as fast as we can." Robbie Fowler's East Bengal held Jamshedpur FC to a goalless draw despite playing with a man down for more than an hour, which he believes in an encouraging sign. "The motivation is always there to win every single game. We are a team with great work ethic. The togetherness from this team is brilliant. We are full of fighters," he said.
Marquez also said it wouldn't be an easy outing. "I think East Bengal is growing, and they had chances to score in their matches against ATK Mohun Bagan, Mumbai and NorthEast United when the scores were even. If we change our style because East Bengal has not scored any goals, it will be wrong. We know that we have possibilities to win the game if we play in our style."
