57′ – Change for NEUFC! Mashoor Shereef is brought off as Bengaluru start to look more comfortable on the ball and have created a few chances. Sehnaj Singh is on, which means Khassa Camara will drop down to defence.

48′ – Chance! Bengaluru FC gets a promising free-kick and Cleiton Silva is one to take it. But his effort is straight to the keeper.

Moments later, Jayesh Rane got the ball on the right and crossed it in for the defender to stick out a leg as Silva collected the ball and passed it onto Sunil Chhetri. The Khel Ratna took a side step to his right and shot it straight into Subhasish Roy’s hands.

HALF TIME! What a game of football this has been! 5 goals in 45 minutes and non-stop action…

Cleiton Silva carries the ball from deep and passes it onto Jayesh, who in turn, drops his shoulder and takes a shot that snakes it past the keeper and goes into the back of the net.

25′ – GOAL! Mathias Coureur equalises for NEUFC!

It is Suhair V again who starts the move as he races down the left and whips in a cross that is blocked by Ajith Kamaraj. Mathias Coureur though was alive to the ball and his shot hits the keeper but rolls in any way…

23′ – OWN GOAL! Mashoor Shereef smashes it into his own net! Unfortunate…

Keeper Subhasish Roy made a stunning jump to his left as the crossbar came to his rescue from a curler that was creeping in and then scrambled to his right to make a grounded save only for his own teammate to blast it past him.

Cleiton combined well with Udanta Singh as the latter got the ball and got past a sliding defender. He put in an inch-perfect through ball for Cleiton, who rounded the keeper and slotted it home.

7′ – Shot! NEUFC’s Deshorn Brown with another effort as this time it is much more grounded… He gets the ball on the left of the penalty box and cuts inside and takes a shot… but ends up dragging it just wide of the post…

6′ – Rain! A rather erratic and frantic start to the game from both sides. Understandable given the conditions… it is raining cats and dogs here!

1′- Shot! Deshorn Brown with a bicycle kick! NEUFC attack from kick-off ittsel but the Highlander’s effort frlies over Gurpreet’s goal.

KICK-OFF! BFC and NEUFC XI get us underway in Bambolim!
