Danile Lalhimpuia played Doungel on who again ran past the Mohun Bagan defense before smacking it with power past Shilton Paul who seemed to be a bit off the line and failed to judge the shot. Prabir continued to plague the Blues backline as he again beat the defense for pace but the ball across the face of the goal again evaded Azharuddin at full stretch. Jeje was guilty of wasting a golden opportunity after Prabir again found him in acres of space with plenty of time but Jeje only managed to sky it from point blank range. However Mohun Bagan’s attacking instinct could not be curtailed as Kean Lewis ran onto a Bikramjit Singh ball before taking Nishu Kumar for a spin. His eventual shot towards goal took a meaty deflection off Gursimrat Gill and put Ralte off as it landed at the back of the net in the 72nd minute. Bikramjit SIngh made it 3-1 in the 80th minute after starting the move with a fine long diagonal to Kean Lewis on the left. Lewis’s intiital shot as he came into the box was blocked but fell to Bikramjit on the edge of the box. His piledriver of an effort gave Ralte no chance as Mohun Bagan sauntered at this stage. The match concluded with some late drama as a CK Vineeth freekick saw Shilton Paul deflect the ball onto his post before the Mohun Bagan defense could clear. While Mohun Bagan already eliminated, and Maziya winning against Abahani, Bengaluru FC will now need a win to qualify for the next stage.
