Playing an open game, both teams had their share of exchanges till Bengaluru FC captain, Sunil Chhetri opened the account for his team in the 20th minute. Staging an attack from the middle Chhetri passes to young Seiminlen Doungel, who again sets up for his captain. Chhetri’s 22-yard long range shot was out of the keepers’ reach.
