ISL 2017-18, Match 47: Delhi Dynamos vs Bengaluru FC, 5 Talking Points

#3 John Johnson had the chance to level the scores

After conceding the goal, Bengaluru looked to adopt a more target man approach. Coach Albert Roca decided to introduce the big Australian Erik Paartalu in place of Delgado, much to the latter's unhappiness. It looked like he wanted his team to score from the set-pieces and to get more crosses into the box so that the big forward could meet them with his head.

Soon, a fantastic opportunity presented itself in the 87th minute. Bengaluru had won a corner and Edu Garcia put the ball in on a platter for defender John Johnson in the box. The Englishman was completely unmarked and had a free header at goal. His effort though was directed straight at the keeper. A better contact and it would surely have been 1-1 and Bengaluru could have gone home with one point.
