FC Bengaluru United thrash MEG 4-0 in BDFA Super Division

Malem opened the scoring for the winning side.

FC Bengaluru United put in their most commanding performance of the tournament thus far as they routed MEG 4-0 in the seventh game of the ongoing BDFA Super Division Campaign. MEG were coming off the back of an unbeaten run, but FC Bengaluru United combined skill with alacrity and aggression to emerge worthy victors.    

FC Bengaluru United’s positive intent was evident from the word go as they hit the ground running, putting the MEG defence under tremendous pressure. MEG finally succumbed in the 22nd minute when a cross from Ronaldo, which was deflected by the defender, was picked up by an alert Malem, who neatly shot the ball into the top corner of the goal.

MEG tried to respond in kind a few minutes later, but the header after a good throw in was just wide of the goal. FC Bengaluru United didn’t lift their foot off the pedal, creating chances at will with Chaitan, Ronaldo, Malem and Hayden in the thick of the action. In the 37th minute Arun made the most of a defensive lapse to regain control of the ball and feed it to Ronaldo who didn’t make any mistake.  

The second half was no different as FC Bengaluru United continued to dominate with a mix of aggression and strong defence. Despite the 2-0 lead, they didn’t let the intensity dip, attacking the MEG defence with especially strong wing play and quick counters. In the 73rd minute, Chaitan’s nimble play was parried away by the MEG keeper, only to find Vignesh who calmly tapped the ball in.

3-0 soon became 4-0 in the 82nd minute when Vignesh’s through ball was deftly taken by Anup all the way into the box for Chaitan to complete the finishing touches. An emphatic performance from FCBU, perhaps their most dominating effort so far.
