#5 Professional Bengaluru put petulant East Bengal to the sword
In the end, maturity triumphed over excitement. Tranquillity triumphed over anger. East Bengal only have themselves to blame for today's loss. It wasn't a brilliant performance by Bengaluru FC. Far from it.
But EB's petulance and excitement gave BFC a lifeline, the ISL finalists made the most of it, punishing their opponents for their careless approach. Already down to 10 men, EB's Gurwinder needlessly raised an arm inside the box and Sunil Chhetri coolly slotted home from the spot to give his side the lead.
Usual suspect, Miku then put East Bengal to the sword with a fine finish and topped off his magical season with yet another goal. Sunil then once again emerged to score a bullet header in the dying minutes. What started off as a promising day, turned into a forgetful night for the Kolkata giants.
