AFC Cup Preliminary Round: Bengaluru FC vs Transport United, 5 Talking Points

#5 Bench players repay their faith in Albert Roca

Alwyn George stepped up to the plate

Chants of "We Want Chhetri" reverberated around the Sree Kanteerava Stadium from the first half and continued into the second. Emphasising the need to maintain their momentum in the ISL, BFC coach, Albert Roca decided to field an unfamiliar playing eleven against Transport United.

The likes of Sunil, Miku, Partaalu and Gurpreet did not start but Bengaluru's bench players surely made a case for themselves with their performance. Alwyn George, Semboi, Boithang, Nishu and Daniel played some slick football between themselves and their opponents had no answers to the quick tempo.

Alber Roca can rest easy this season knowing that if needed, he has players on the bench who are very well capable of making the difference. Bengaluru's bench looked relentless and eager to impress.
