Aizawl vs East Bengal, Live Score and Commentary, I League 2017

FULL TIME Aizawl 1-0 East Bengal

90+3' Throw in for East Bengal and Bukenya gets on to the end of a ball and heads to win a corner but it comes to nothing for the away side. Aizawl should have three points in the bag now

90+1' The scoreline might be 1-0 but it should have been 3-0 or 4-0 to Aizawl and should EB get an equaliser, it will all be their own fault.

5 minutes of added time

89' East Bengal leaving a lot of spaces open in the midfield and Amna threads through a beautiful ball but Brandon hits a weak shot in the hands of the goalkeeper. Poor

87' East Bengal seem really disjointed today and they have not been able to produce decisive movements up front. Mondal gets booked for a rash challenge on Chullova.

84' SHOT!!!! Bayi gets the ball just outside the box and there is no defender in front of him. He lets fly but hits the side netting. The Ivorian has been really profligate today

83' East Bengal trying to force the initiative here by hurling throws into the box but the home side is up to the task. There have been a lot of injury stoppages and we will have at least 4 minutes of added time

81' Rane has been really good for Aizawl today, constantly providing a threat going forward. Kamo moves forward and is in the box, he takes the shot from the outside of his foot but it is just above

79' It should be said here that Aizawl have not necessarily been exceptional today but the only reason that they are leading is because of better decisiveness. Kamo takes a shot after spotting Rehensh off his line but skies it way over

77' Trevor Morgan is livid on the sidelines and wants his boys to show more intent than they have till now. He is barking instructions and asking them to press forward.

74' Robin Singh has been helping out in defence as well for East Bengal. A quarter of an hour remaining in the game here.

71' The crowd is getting into the act here and they get a Mexican wave going. Brilliant from the crowd

70' CHANCE!!! RObin gets on the end of a good cross but directs his header straight into the hands of the goalkeeper. Should have done better

67' A bit of attacking coming from Aizawl once again as East Bengal are looking really off colour at the moment. Aizawl FC showing great persistence and and they are moving forward in numbers.

63' Khalid Jamil will be happy with the way things have panned out till now and his team's record of being unbeaten at home is looking good.

61' A little bit of too much exuberance from Robin Singh, who is trying his best to get his team back into the game. He fouls Alfred on the left wing.

60' Aizawl attack again from the wings and Rehenesh has to intervene and hold on to a cross. The home team is growing in confidence and the crowd is doing even better to make it difficult for the away side. What do East Bengal have in them?

58' GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLL Ralte scores and Aizawl lead 1-0. An aberration in defence from East Bengal as Bukenya and Mondal cannot get a ball crossed into the box away and Ralte makes full use of it to turn in a scrappy pass across the line into the net with his head. Aizawl lead and they deserve it

57' This is all getting a bit too feisty here as Aizawl and Bengal are going hard for the tackles. Didika now gets into the book for a harsh tackle.

55' Bukenya and Chullova get involved in an unnecessary scuffle as the East Bengal defender grans the Aizawl player by his throat following the Ugandan's run in with Alfred. Yellow card for both

53' Robin Singh is everywhere at the moment. He helps out in clearing a corner for his team and then tries to go for a ball from a corner. Picks up a knock

50' East Bengal are putting a lot of balls to Robin Singh and he seems to be happy playing on the ball. He has injected some energy into the East Bengal forward line and will be looking to find the back of the net

47' Trevor James Morgan has brought on Robin Singh and will be looking to have more of a physical presence up front

46' We are underway with the second half and the home team starts on the front foot and are seeing more of the ball here.

PEEEEEPPPP

HALF TIME Aizawl 0-0 East Bengal

45' A couple of minutes of added time and Aizawl are trying hard to take a shot at goal but EB defence stands tall.

44' Amna has sprung into life in the last 15 minutes as he evades one defender just outside the box to put the ball to Bayi, who twists and turns but eventually bangs into the Great Wall of East Bengal - Ivan Bukenya

42' East Bengal will be looking to go into half time without conceding a goal as they do not look to keen on scoring one. They are happy to sit back and probably will bring on Robin in the second half

40' Aizawl should be livid with themselves here as they have not managed to get a proper shot on target despite creating so many chances. Highly indecisive from the home team in the box here and Rehenesh has not been tested

38' Bukenya appears to have fouled Al Amna but the referee does not give the kick. Aizawl get a corner and ball stands up for Ralte and he skies his volley way over the goal. POOR! That should have been a goal

37' Referee is called into action as Al Amna is taken down by Borges.

35' The home fans seem to be the most energetic of all present in the ground here. That is likely to dampen as Lalruatthara is stretchered off and on comes Lalranzuala

32' Half an hour gone in the game here and both teams have been pretty conservative in their approach, not pushing a lot of men forward. The first 15 minutes belonged to East Bengal as they hit the bar through Anselme but Aizawl have come good in the past quarter of an hour.

30' Aizawl are slowly coming into the game here and East Bengal have endured this period of pressure quite well

28' CHANCE!!! Aizawl are mounting the pressure now as Bayi gets the ball in the box, shows a bit of trickery and hustles before passing it to Ralte, who does not show decisiveness and the attack dies away

26' Great work from Ralte on the right wing as he dribbles past a defender and tries to get a pass in but it goes out for a corner. The ball then is fed to Alfred outside the box, he evades a defender and lets fly but it is way over

23' Romeo Fernandes flatters to deceive in the box there as he gets it on the right, cuts past a defender but eventually foregoes control. Poor.

20' First real threat from Aizawl as Bayi breaks on the counter for the home side and cuts in from the left but it is that man Bukenya again. He averts the danger.

17' How good has Ivan been in defence for East Bengal, not letting any Aizawl player get an opening. Rehenesh has been untroubled today. Aizawl need to create a chance here

14' Lalruatthara has an issue with his leg here and he is not looking too comfortable. Looks like he seems to have done his knee and is receiving treatment on the sidelines.

12' Romeo is shoved in the back on the wing and gets East Bengal a freekick. Das whips the ball in and ALMOST!!! Plaza was lurking and the ball goes above his head. East Bengal knock on the door again

11' A period of extended possession for the home team but it has not been converted into a proper chance. East Bengal have been pretty secure in defence at the moment and the signs of a breach are not visible at the moment

9' Kamo has been called offside on a couple of occasions in the first 10 minutes, maybe he needs to drop back a bit and link up more with the midfield. There again, Danmawia is called offside

7' Aizawl looking pretty scrappy with their passing and are giving away the ball too easily. Mehtab wins a ball around the half line and puts through Plaza, who cannot stop the ball before it goes out.

5' Aizawl players look a bit nervous here but they will need to settle down soon. A long ball is played forward to Kamo but the Aizawl forward is offside

3' CROSSBAR!!! Anselme capitalises on an error from the Aizawl defender and gets an uppish half volley outside the box. Cracks it hard, the goalkeeper is beaten but it rattles against the crossbar. Aizawl survive

3' Bheke takes a throw in from the right side and Anselme tees up Borges, who takes a weak shot that goes above

1' East Bengal, dressed in white and black, are attacking from right to left and get us underway. Aizawl press and gain possession straight away, try to move forward but Rane is offside
