Eric Partalu was unlucky to hit the crossbar from his long-range effort. Bengaluru FC could have gone in at halftime with 3 to 4 goal advantage. Rahul Bheke was unlucky to deflect the ball into his own net which put the game on level terms at halftime. Bengaluru FC did create a couple chances in the second half but not as much as they did in the first half. They played like a champions side. They did not give up till the final whistle. Khabra found Rahul Bheke from an absolutely beautiful cross who converted the cross to see to that Bengaluru FC bag the three points.
The five talking points of the game-
Miku was missed?
Bengaluru FC created so many chances in the entire game. They could have comfortably won the match if the chances were put away. As Miku has still not made his way back into the side it looked like he was missed today. He would have put the ball back into the net if the chances had fallen to his feet. Bengaluru FC would have won comfortably with him in the side.
Played Like Champions
Bengaluru FC has got their winning streak intact with their win against Pune. It is the longest winning streak in the history of ISL. They did struggle against Delhi but it was total opposite today.They had so much fluency in their football. It looked like they will score everytime they attacked They looked so comfortable with the ball. They played one-touch football. They did not give up till the time referee blew the whistle. They will enjoy themselves comfortable at the top of the table
Chencho Performance
The Bhutanese striker is the replacement for Miku. He was unlucky not to score today. He did have his chances to get his first goal for the club. Although he did not score he contributed a lot to the game with his pace and skill. Fans loved to see him get the ball. He had a really good game. If he improves his finishing which he lacks a bit he can be a lethal striker.
Pune never really threatened Bengaluru FC goal. They hardly had shots on target. They did create chances at times but the finishing wasn’t up to the mark. They never really got themselves into the game. They struggled all throughout. This will have a major impact in their season.
Winning Mentality of Bengaluru FC
Bengaluru FC didn’t give up till the last minute in the last match against Delhi. They saw to that they cross the line. They didn’t give up till the last minute. They showed the same attitude against Pune too. Rahul Bheke helping them cross the line this time. They were absolute class. They have the never give up attitude. They set a new record too of having won six wins on the trot.
