After a handful of chances for both the sides, it was Sunil Chhetri's brilliance from the set-piece in the 55th minute that decided the game. When Delgado's corner from the right floated into the Blasters box, Chhetri made a long run from outside the penalty area to connect with a diving header.

The goal was an apt reply to the critics after the talisman's relatively poor run this season. With this, Chhetri has scored in two consecutive games for BFC, solving Cuadrat's biggest worry of the season.

The 35-year old had missed a few chances early in the game, but came back well to compensate. The skipper came the closest to goal in the stoppage time of the first half when his shot from Ashique's cross hit the side netting.

However, the goal was a vivid picture of Chhetri's experience combined with skill.
