BHUBANESWAR 17-Apr-2018
Down by a goal at the interval and reduced to 10-men after Nishu Kumar was given marching orders in the 50th minute, Bengaluru FC fought back to beat Mohun Bagan 4-2 in the second semi-final of the 1st Super Cup Football Tournament here at Kalinga Stadium today.
Unperturbed after being reduced to 10-men, Nicolas Fedor, who is fondly known as Miku, scored a hat-trick to turn things around. And as if that wasn’t enough, captain Sunil Chhetri ended the proceedings with a sublime strike which was undoubtedly the goal of the match.
All of that happened after Cameroonian striker Dipanda Dicka had put Bagan in the lead in the 42nd minute. Dicka did manage to reduce the margin in added time scoring another, but it was a bit too late. Bengaluru FC will face Kingfisher East Bengal in the final slated to be played at the same venue on April 20.
