East Bengal 2-1 Bengaluru FC
EB: Ivan Bukenya(25th - Assist Lalrindika Ralte), Robin Singh(80th - From a miscued clearance)
BFC: CK Vineeth(20th - Assist Eugeneson Lyngdoh)
East Bengal halted Albert Roca's perfect start with a solid 2-1 victory at home. CK Vineeth continued his goal scoring form when he silenced the 15000 fans at the stadium, placing the ball past a hapless TP Rahnesh after some smart work from Eugeneson Lyngdoh down the left hand side. Few minutes alter though it was the other end of the field where the celebrations took place. Trevor Morgan's training ground drill left Bengaluru FC clueless as Ivan Bukenya applied the finishing touch from Lalrindika Ralte's drilled cross. As the game progressed Bengaluru FC's defence crumbled with Wills Plaza and Nikhil Poojari's pace proving too much for Juanan and John Johnson. With Willis Plaza squandered numerous chances, it was former Bengaluru FC boy Robin Singh who found the winner after a miscued header found the striker all alone and he made no mistake. With the victory East Bengal jumped to second spot while Bengaluru FC moving down to third.
