ISL 2020-21: Bengaluru trounces SC East Bengal, secures first win in nine games - ISL News - Sportstar
The HinduBengaluru FC got over its success drought by downing SC East Bengal, courtesy of two unanswered first-half goals in the Indian Super League match at the Tilak Maidan Stadium on Tuesday. A long goal-kick from Bengaluru FC goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu in the 12th minute reached the top of the SC East Bengal box where Chhetri outjumped the opposition’s towering defender Scott Neville to nod down the ball for an unmarked Cleiton. SC East Bengal had greater ball possession compared to Bengaluru but when it came to capitalising on that advantage in the striking zone, the Red and Golds were found greatly wanting in their finishing. SC East Bengal failed to overcome its sluggishness in the second half, allowing Bengaluru to easily protect its lead.
