Pune take the game to Bengaluru
Far too many teams this season have shown far too much respect towards Bengaluru. As a result, when sides face the ISL debutants, they already enter the match in a defensive and negative state of mind. Eventually, they end up paying the price for their tepid approach.

Pune came into tonight's match against Bengaluru on equal footing. They had the same points as their opponents and were scoring goals on a regular basis. Unlike the others, the home side refused to be pinned back and took the game to the Blues, who were caught a bit off guard with Pune's ultra-positive approach.
The visitors looked flustered for large parts of the match and found it difficult to keep up with the tempo of the game. Credit to Pune for playing attacking football. They were duly rewarded when Adil Khan scored a bullet header to give his side the lead. They moved the ball between the lines extremely well and kept BFC's centre-backs on edge all night long.
