On Sunday at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati, Bengaluru FC and NorthEast United FC battled to a 1-1 draw in the Indian Super League (ISL).
Sunil Chhetri, a revered figure in Indian football, showcased his prowess by converting a penalty into a goal in the 36th minute, capitalizing on a mistake by goalkeeper Mirshad Michu. The Bengaluru FC captain seized the opportunity, demonstrating his goal-scoring ability and reinforcing his iconic status.
However, NorthEast United found an equalizer in the added time of the first half, as Aleksandar Jovanovic inadvertently scored an own goal past Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. Despite Jovanovic’s defensive prowess this season, this misstep allowed NorthEast United to level the playing field.
In the 81st minute, NorthEast United had a promising opportunity to take the lead when Parthib Gogoi found himself in a favorable position. Nevertheless, a heavy touch inside the box hindered Gogoi’s chance, and Sandhu swiftly intervened, preventing the young player from unleashing a shot.
The match showcased moments of individual brilliance and defensive lapses, resulting in a hard-fought 1-1 draw between Bengaluru FC and NorthEast United FC.
