That's it. 1-1 . A huge huge result for BFC. Onto the next leg then!
94' Ranjan goes down with cramp. He looks to be in pain.
92' JDT with a corner, punched away by Amrinder.
90' Four added minutes.
86' Johor with a corner, Antonio with the header. Amrinder watches it go past his far post.
83' BFC have tried controlling the game, and slowing it down. But Johor are piling on the pressure now.
82' What a block! Lovely block by Ranjan, he has had a real good game.
79' Mazlan with a huge huge opportunity for JDT. But his execution was terrible.
77' Lyngdoh with another cracker, but the ball goes up and over the bar. That would have been another goal.
75' Amri comes on and cynically falls Vineet, that could have been good BFC.
73' Vishal has come on for Alyn George, and he's playing right wingback.
71' That was very very naughty from Eugene there, he slides into the Johor goalkeeper with his studs up. Gets away with it though.
68' Sunil Chhetri with a bicycle kick, but doesn't catch it properly, Lyngdoh with a volley, but for once doesn't catch it.
66' Vineet goes on the outside and tries to cross, the ball goes behind for a BFC corner.
62' The change in formation seems to have suited the style of Eugene. He has dropped into a more favorable space at the center of the ground rather than the wings.
60' The game has settled back into the pattern again, with Johor having the better of the ball, and the Blues defending.
58' That is a huge goal for the Blues.
56' WHAT A GOAL. Lyngdoh with a hammer of a goal. He shifted the ball to his left and let fly. That passes Izham before he knew that was coming.
54' That might be due the change in formation. They have switched to a 3-5-2.
52' Corner, swung into the back post, Diaz was unmarked into the back post and he heads in.
50' HUGE CHANCE for Sunil Chhetri, he gets the ball on the edge of the box and let's fly, but his effort is straight at the keeper.
48' Three chances in three minutes for Johor. Diaz has had the best chance and he hit it straight at Amrinder.
45' Johor have started the second half on a front foot. Bengaluru FC though, appear to be playing a higher line.
We are back for the second half. Johor will be hoping Luciano finishes better this half.
Half Time: BFC started the game brightly,but JDT have played 35 mins like nobody's business and they deserve to be up two goals. The Blues will have to come out of the second half a different side, if they want to keep the game alive for the second leg.
41' The game is being firmly played in the BFC half. Pereyra and Lucero combining brilliant one-two at the edge of the box, Lucero's shot saved by Amrinder, and the other shot goes behind for a corner.
39' Bengaluru FC are on the back foot. They can do with the half-time at the moment.
37' Taib with another very good chance, he cuts back to his right, sells Johnson and with half of the goal empty, he passes it wide. What a chance, what a miss.
34' Freekick for BFC at the edge of the JDT box, chance for the Blues. The cross though, is cleared and Rubio's cheeky try goes over the bar harmlessly.
32' Backs to the wall stuff Bengaluru, JDT have upped to tempo and what a block to deny Pereyra a thhe edge of the box.
30' Huge CHANCE for Eugene. He was found empty at the edge of the box, but he goes for a sidefoot which trickles into the hand of Izham.
27' WHAT A SAVE by Amrinder. Cross from the left, Amrinder springs to his right and touches it behind. Lucero thought that it was goal, he was off celebrating.
26' JDT are doing a lot better now, they are keeping the ball brilliantly. They're pressing Bangalore high and getting the ball quickly back.
22' Juanan slips, Akil takes the ball into the byline and crosses it to the box. Pereyra with a shot from his left, but he skies his clearance.
20' Really really humid conditions. A water break for the players.
19' Another brilliant ball into the box by Rino, well defended by Johor. That was a great chance for BFC.
17' Alwyn with a good ball into the box, onto the head of Vineet, who heads it, over. Like really really over.
14' Nothing comes off that, JDT defend well. Johor are controlling the game now.
13' Sunil Chhetri with a good through ball, just cleared off Vineet's feet. Corner for BFC.
12' Taib with a good run, and earn a free kick, but thankfully for the Blues defend it well.
8' Johor have started to get a foothold into the game, Johor have beaten the BFC press a couple of times. They looked dangerous on both occasions.
5' Bengaluru pressing Johor high, and they have made a couple of mistakes. This time, ball falls to Rubio, who chips it to Sunil Chhetri, he tries chipping the goalkeeper, but is cleared off the line.
4' A rather slow start to the game, and that was hasty clearance by Mazlan. The resulting corner, flicked by Johnson, goes behind for a galkick.
2' Naughty naughty tackle by Safiq on Rubi, he seems to be in some pain. The referee though hasn't given a card.
1' Bengaluru have started the game, and they have started positively. They managed to have most of the ball.
It will be important for BFC to control the tempo of the game if they want to come out with anything for the game.
What an atmosphere in Johor is insane! Absolutely INSANE. The attendance 26, 000.
The players are ready to come out of the dugout. This will truly be the biggest game in Indian Football this year.

FT: That was good game of football. Ultimately, Johor seemed to have dug their own grave. The pitch was heavy and with the Malaysian sides style, it went against them. Bengaluru FC have a huge chance to make history now.
