Aridane Santana and Fran Sandaza scored in the final five minutes of the match to bag his team an unlikely result....
BFC led 2-0 through goals from Sunil Chhetri (9’) and Leon Augustine (61’). However, Aridane Santana pulled a goal back in the 86th minute before Fran Sandaza scored a 90th-minute leveler, as BFC’s winless run extended to eight game.
HFC manager Manuel Marquez Roca: We are very happy tonight. We were losing 0-2 till the 85th minute. Up until that point, we didn't deserve the three points. We gifted Bengaluru the second goal and failed to score from every good chance we got. In the end, we fought well and bagged a point. Both our goals were executed wonderfully. I feel bad for Bengaluru FC. They are on a rough patch. Even after scoring the first goal, they were very nervous on the field because of their winless streak. Coming back to us, we have a young and talented squad. The players have handled the tough situations brilliantly. The late equaliser will be a boost for all of them.
Interim BFC coach Naushad Moosa: It's the same problem again, switching off towards the end. We were two goals ahead till the 85th minute and conceded two so late. I had to make those substitutions. Cleiton (Silva) was complaining about his hamstring. Sunil (Chhetri) was not well yesterday and he didn't train. So I introduced Semboi (Haokip) and Kristian (Opseth). The entire squad is gutted. I appreciate the way my team is playing but it's not enough. There were defensive lapses. You can't have four players in the box and allow the striker to come from behind and score. Leon Augustin did well. I wanted to utilise his pace on the wing and he scored. Parag Srivas is good with the ball but he has to coordinate better with his partner. We have to work harder.
