ISL 2024-25: Updated Points Table, most goals, and most assists after match 45, Bengaluru FC vs NorthEast United FC

Both teams settled for a share of the spoils in the four-goal thriller.

NorthEast United FC have secured a big result on the road considering the current dynamics of the league. The Highlanders started the game on the front foot and had two early chances before their magic man Alaeddine Ajaraie opened the scoring in the 8th minute. The Moroccan released a bullet of a shot and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu had no answers to it. 

Alberto Noguera restored parity for the home side a couple of minutes later with a wonderful strike from outside the box. Alaeddine Ajaraie put his side in the lead once again after capitalising on Gurpreet’s mistake. It seemed as if the visitors would become the first team to breach the Kanteerava, but Ryan Williams secured a crucial point for Bengaluru FC with an equaliser in the second half.
