Juan Cruz Mascia was dropped in favour of the centre back Mislav Komorski with the manager, Eelco Schattorie going for a much more defensive team than the 1-0 defeat to Mumbai City FC.

He came off the bench in the 79th minute and ran riot from the first minute he was on the field. He earned a free kick on the edge of the penalty area which was wasted by Keegan Pereira as he could not even hit the target.

Eventually, the Uruguayan's efforts counted as he earned a penalty in stoppage time with Sandesh Jhingan fouling him inside the 18-yard box.

Ogbeche stepped up to convert the penalty. Two minutes later, link-up play between Gallego and Rowlin Borges set up the 24-year old who scored the winner past the Blasters goalkeeper who had no chance of saving that magnificent effort.
