The Stags began well by pressing Bengaluru high up the pitch and forcing them back constantly. Without a goal to lift the side ,though, fatigue took over and they just could not find the energy reserves they needed to get past a resolute Bengaluru side.
The Singapore side was also bright at the beginning of the second half but again faded as the half wore on. Credit has to go to the Blues who just refused to cave in but Nawas.

After a brief and undistinguished stint as an electrical engineer, Arvind discovered his true calling was churning out hyperbolic prose about athletes he had never met.
A writer and editor with close to a decade’s experience, Arvind’s work has been published on Sky Sports, the BBC, the Guardian and other leading websites. He has attended multiple Grand Slams on the ground and provided coverage for Super Bowls and the NBA playoffs.
As a lifelong fan of Arsenal and the Indianapolis Colts, he has mastered the art of managing expectations and can convince anyone that finishing fourth is a moral victory.
When not armchair quarterbacking, Arvind spends his time playing blitz chess online, watching air crash documentaries and smashing controllers after his latest Weekend League defeat.
