That's how Bengaluru got their second through captain Chhetri early in the second half; the helping touches though came from the NorthEast defence.

Harmanjot Khabra's cross in from the right was a good one, but it should have been a regulation clearance for NorthEast as they had two defenders in position to deal with it.

Sambinha however, completely missed it, managing only a feathery connection with a ball. Nirmal Chettri who was behind him was completely put off by his centre-back's miss and was left in an awkward position as the ball thudded off his thigh and ballooned over, falling conveniently to Sunil Chhetri who was left with an easy finish.

Huge helping hand from the visitors that undid a lot of the good work they'd done in the first half to get back to parity.
