We'll take Indian football ahead together! Good night folks. The Mariners can sleep peacefully with the performance in the first half and the Blues will be happy with the victory at home. Awaiting the next leg.

GOOD Night friends!

MATCH OVER! BENGALURU FC get the first three points! With a well-played second half, the Albert Roca side will be happy with the points. Sanjoy Sen will rue Katsumi's injury and will be hoping his captain returns as soon as possible. The Albert Roca side should carry this momentum in the I-league and must return to more convincing ways to rise up in the table. In the AFC competition, the Blues will be hoping to continue their good form!

90+4' Sehnaj brings down Alwyn. Bengaluru win another free-kick. Cameron Watson takes it. Johnson takes a dinking shot from his left, which goes just wide!

90+3' Bengaluru FC win a free-kick in their half as Alwyn George is brought down by Balwant Singh. Bengaluru still playing in the opposition half  

90+1' Bengaluru FC holding onto the ball as four minutes of added time is given. Passing the ball to the goalkeeper from the middle of the pitch shows their possession-intent clearly.

90' The winning goal captain Chhetri makes way for hard-working midfielder Alwyn George! Bengaluru closing on in a famous victory.

89' Bengaluru play passes on the edge of MB box and Watson looses the ball. Mohun Bagan look bereft of ideas on the top of the pitch!

85' Prabir takes a shot as Sehnaj's free kick is wide off the target. No power on the shot as it goes wide. 

80' Jhingan gets a goal but there's a foul! Mohun Bagan living on risky lines now. . .

79' Udanta takes a shot on goal as Anas tackles it wide for another corner. BFC attacking in full tempo now!

78' Lyngdoh crosses in as Vineeth manages only a weak header. Chhetri keeps the ball in with a hard-worked slide and the team is showing good temptation

76' Eduardo clears as Vineeth goes on a long run on the right side of the goal in the box. Corner for BFC. Not a very convincing ball from Watson.

74' Bikramjit is being taken off the pitch by the medical team. Ever since Katsumi has gone off and Prabir has come on, the MB team hasn't attacked as well as they would've like to.

72' Bikramjit is on the field, in pain. Norde is in a bit of scuffle as Bengaluru players surround him. Khabra is on for Daniel.

70' Udanta exchanges passes with Lyngdoh and sets free on the right. Crosses low into the box. Vineeth slots it in between defenders and the scorers aren't disturbed yet

68' Norde tries the spectacular but it is just over the bar. Counter from the Blues as Lyngdoh tries to head in from a Vineeth cross.

66' Another free kick opportunity for the Blues but Shilton collects it well. Norde attacks from the left and is brought down by Juanan. Wins a free kick and the defender gets a yellow.

63' Vineeth wriggles out past defenders and manages a shot, only to be blocked. 

62' Juanan with a thumping header from Watson's curling ball. If the ball would've been on the target, it might've been the third for the Blues. It was slightly over. 

61' Anas looses the ball in a poor area to concede a corner as Watson is controlling the tempo well

60' Balwant goes for a long ball from Sehnaj but it has too much weight on it. Both teams need to calm down and play with the ball at their feet.  

58' Curling effort, right on top of the goal! Arindam parries it away!

58' Norde wins another corner for the away team! Mariners growing close to the equalizer

55' Watson and Jeje are in a scuffle in the middle of the pitch. Typical Indian club attitudes! When you lose, you fight! Guys, grow up!

54' CHHHHHHHHHHHETRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIII Scores!!!! The captain has done it again!!! A low dinking free-kick on the bottom right corner and Bengaluru FC are ahead at home! Roca must be breathing a sigh of relief!

53' Free kick in a dangerous position for the home side. Lyngdoh, Chhetri and Watson all seem interested! Tough times for the Mariners.!

52' Long ball from the back from Eduardo. Sandesh heads it onto Norde and out! Parity is restored in the game.

48' Balwant crosses, Arindam handles. Vineeth crosses, Shilton handles. Similar action on both ends and Katsumi is brought down close to the BFC box. The best player on the pitch is writhing in pain!!!!

47' John Johnson tries a David Beckham as he takes a try from close to his box but the ball goes over the goal of Shilton Paul. WELL OVER! 

46' Eugeneson Lyngdoh comes in for Lenny Rodrigues and the ref blows the whistle to re-start.

Mohun Bagan is also back, and are already looking confident and comfortable. The Blues will have a hard time as Yusa is on fire!

Bengaluru FC is back on the pitch as the game is set to re-begin. Roca is discussing strategies with key man Cameron Watson and is probably asking him to play long balls. We can expect that as Daniel and Udanta have fearsome speed!

First half review: It was an even start for both teams but Bagan posed more of a cutting edge going forward as the half wore on. Yusa has been lively like he was at the weekend and the Mariners deserve their lead. BFC need a turnaround. This has been their journey throughout this season. One mistake and they've lost key games! Roca needs to do something to turn it around again! Until the half time is over, you can let us know if you like our feed and can suggest us the changes you want to see! Please guys, your review is important for us to take Indian football ahead.

35' SONY NORDE wins a penalty for the Mariners! What a chance!
