The ball touched the post and then SCEB keeper Majumder's leg before trickling into the back of the net. East Bengal's struggles in the final third continued after the change of ends, with Fowler's team failing to register a single shot on target. Bengaluru, meanwhile, kept pushing for a third. Udanta Singh found Silva on the right wing, whose cutback found Chhetri. The Bengaluru captain made a run in to the box but blazed his shot over the bar. Another great chance fell to Chhetri late on, and the Blues could have had a third had it not been for the crossbar coming to SCEB's rescue. Rana Gharami failed to deal with Suresh Wangjam's chipped pass which was received by Chhetri. The Bengaluru talisman took a touch and hit the ball on the half volley, but his shot came off the frame.
