17:49 IST: 90' GOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL!! AGAIN FOR BFC! And it's an absolute wonder goal from Sunil Chhetri. He receives a punt down the left, dribbles it, gets past the right-back and curls home an absolute peach from the edge of the box into the far corner. No one is stopping that! A perfect way to end what has been an incredible second-half show by BFC!
17:48 IST: 89' GOOOOOOOOALLLLLL! HATTRICK FOR MIKU! The striker steps up and slots the penalty home,sending Shilton the wrong way. No way back for Bagan from here it seems.

17:43 IST: 84' Lenny, who has just come on for BFC, almost puts the ball into his own net as a sweeping Bagan move sees them put in a fine ball from the right. The resulting corner finds a white shirt in the box but his flick is over the bar.
17:40 IST: 81' Kinowaki finds space in the box for Bagan and shoots on the volley. However, the shot is a tame one and Gurpeet collects easily. The Mariners have less than ten minutes to save the match!
17:39 IST: 80' Under heavy pressure from the Bagan players, the 10 men of Bengaluru are doing exceptionally well to keep the ball and are enjoying a strong spell of possession. Chhetri does will to get the ball into the corner and earns a set-piece for his side.
17:35 IST: 76' Bagan are becoming more and more desperate, with Dicka shooting from his weaker left foot from range. The shot troubled nobody, except perhaps the ballboy at the back, who'll have a long trek to get the ball.
17:30 IST: 71' Just before the chance, Beikhokhei Beingaichho was introduced into the game for Faiaz and Watson was replaced by Raynier by Mohun Bagan.
17:30 IST: 71' Akram finds space in the box to turn and shoot with his left foot. However, his shot is skewed and goes harmlessly across the face of the goal. In the next minute, he forces Gurpreet into another sharp space as he was played in behind the defence but the keeper was quick to charge out and stop the shot.
17:28 IST: 69' Botihang Haokip goes into the referee's book for a high challenge on Faiaz. From the resulting freekick, Gurpreet punches out the cross and when the ball is played back in, Watson is in a great position on the byline but fails to control the ball.
17:24 IST: 65' GOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL! WHAT IS HAPPENING! BFC LEAD 2-1! And it's that man Miku again. He is fouled near the edge of the area down the right and as the Bagan defence switches off, Toni plays Miku through with a quick free-kick. The forward wastes no time and slots the ball across the keeper into the bottom corner again. The 10 men of Bengaluru FC now lead! What a few minutes of football we have seen!
17:23 IST: 64' SAVE! Gurpreet makes a close-range save from Dicka, who is played down the middle by Kinowaki. What a chance for Bagan!
17:21 IST: 62' GOOOOOOOOALLLLL! BFC EQUALIZE! Udanta is played in down the right wing and from the byline, he cuts it inside for Miku. The Venezuelan jinks past the defender and keeps his composure to send home a powerful drive across the keeper into the bottom corner. 1-1 now and we have a game on our hands!
17:18 IST: 59' Bagan are lucky to not concede a penalty as Miku enters the box from the right. As he approaches the byline, he is hacked down by Bagan captain Kinshuk, who goes in with a slide tackle and barely manages to get a touch of the ball. However, the referee says play on and a bemused Miku looks towards the linesman pleadingly.
17:16 IST: 57' Massive chance for BFC! Miku steals the ball in the final third and plays in Chhetri inside the box. The skipper skips away from the defender and looks to give the keeper the eyes and shoot into the bottom corner. However, he is unable to sort his feet out in time and his effort on goal is a weak one and blocked. He dinks the ball back into the box for Miku but the keeper collects.
17:11 IST: 52' Bengaluru, left with a mountain to climb, look to strike back and from a deep free-kick, Miku looks to head towards goal. However, it is easily caught by Shilton, who goes down with cramp as he throws the ball away.
17:09 IST: 50' RED CARD FOR BFC! Nishu Kumar is off! Bengaluru had a corner but it was cleared, sending Nikhil Kadam, who was waiting on the half-way line, through. BFC's last man is Nishu and just as Kadam was a few yards away from the penalty area, he receives a tug from the defender and goes down. The referee shows no hesitation and sends him off.
17:08 IST: 49' Miku shows some incredible feet in the final third and slips in Boithang for a shot from the edge of the box. However, he takes too much time and his shot is blocked.
17:05 IST: 46' A swift attack by BFC straight from kick-off and Nishu Kumar gets a shot in from inside the box. However, Shilton does well to get down and save it. From the resulting corner, Bagan manage to clear the ball.
17:04 IST: SECOND HALF BEGINS! Bengaluru FC will have to come from behind and have 45 minutes to do so. They have made a change as Toni Dovale comes on for Khabra. Paartalu goes into the back four.
16:49 IST: HALF-TIME It is the I-League side that go into the break with the upper hand, thanks to a well-taken goal towards the end of the half. They struck just at the right time, as Bengaluru looked to increase the pressure. It will be interesting to see how the Blues will respond in the second half, having not managed even a single shot on target in the first 45 minutes.
16:48 IST: 45+3' Khabra goes into the referee's book for a rash challenge on Kadam. He rammed into the Bagan winger from the back without even getting close to the ball.
16:46 IST: 45+1' Akram fires from 30 yards out and the shot goes inches past the post. However, it would not have counted anyway as Faiaz was offside when he had passed the ball first-time to the Lebanese midfielder.
16:44 IST: 44' A nervy moment for the ISL runners-ups again as a cross from the left is not dealt well by the BFC defence. Gurpreet does not collect and the whole defence stands still as Johnson finally hooks the ball away.
16:42 IST: 42' GOOOOOOOOALLLL! Mohun Bagan take the lead against the run of play! And it is Dipanda Dicka who puts the ball into the back of the net.

The Mariners are ahead! 1-0!

16:33 IST: 33' Sunil Chhetri is left frustrated as he looks to evade the offside trap and run in behind the Mohun Bagan defence but the ball from Erik Paartalu is not well-directed and goes out into touch.
16:29 IST: 29' Mohun Bagan look to get in a shot on goal as Dicka collects the ball from the left after a good pass from Nikhil Kadam. However, his shot is easily blocked by Subhashish as BFC get the ball away from danger.
