Bengaluru FC managed to steal a scrappy 1-0 win over New Radiant SC (Maldives) in their AFC Cup<\/a> Group E encounter at Sree Kanteerava Stadium with a late goal from Nishu Kumar (90+1\u2019).<\/p>\n

The visiting sides dominated the game in terms of possession as Bengaluru FC rested a few of their first-team regulars due to their crucial Super Cup quarter-final game against NEROCA FC in few days\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

Sunil Chhetri was kept out of the playing XI as Thongkosiem Haokip paired with Daniel Segovia upfront in Albert Roca’s 3-5-2 formation.
\nHaokip had a chance early in the 15-minute mark as goalkeeper Imran Mohammed came off his line to clear a long ball but his failed clearance fell to Haokip. Haokip took a shot on the goal but Haroon Amiri\u2019s goal line headed clearance saved the goalkeepers blushes.<\/p>\n

Haokip was again involved as he intercepted a defensive square pass and played it to Daniel Segovia in a quick turn of attack, but the striker could not take his shot early and was swarmed by Radiant SC defenders to avert any further danger.<\/p>\n

Bengaluru FC Coach Albert Roca made three tactical changes in the second half bringing in Subhash Bose, Victor Perez, and Sunil Chhetri.<\/p>\n

The move finally played off in the first minute of extra time, as New Radiant SC playing a high line were caught on the break as Sunil Chhetri managed to break away with a solo run into the Radiant SC half and laid it off for Nishu Kumar advancing from the left back, who had a simple tap-in to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n

With this win, Bengaluru FC sits on top of Group E with nine points as they face the same opponent at an away game on 25th April at the National Stadium, Male.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
