On so many occasions this season, fans and pundits alike have raved about Bengaluru's potency from set-piece situations. The likes of Partaalu, Juanan and John Johnson have proved to be a handful for opposition defenders all season.

But tonight, Chennaiyin gave them a taste of their own medicine. They scored both their goals from set pieces - corners. Assisted by Gregory Nelson on both occasions. Centre-back, Mailson Alves stung Bengaluru where they least expected to be outdone.

The same towering players in the BFC team came out second best. Their marking from both the corners was poor and credit to Alves' teammates - Henrique Sereno and Dhanpal Ganesh who made a nuisance of themselves in the box and helped the goalscorer peel away from his markers.
