ISL 2024-25: Chhetri’s Equaliser Ends East Bengal’s Playoffs Charge After 1-1 Draw With Bengaluru
Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium: East Bengal FC drew 1-1 against Bengaluru FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium, Kolkata in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Sunday. The Blues held an overwhelming 67.9 per cent of the possession but needed the added time of the second half to grab a point from the fixture, ending East Bengal FC’s playoff charge.
The Red and Gold Brigade, placed eighth, have 28 points from 23 games now, and could get to a maximum of 31 with one game remaining, which would still fall short of the currently sixth-placed NorthEast United FC (32).
East Bengal FC made a statement start with some telling moves that sparked a livewire inside the Bengaluru FC defensive third. They particularly found openings on the right side of the Blues’ backline, with Naorem Mahesh Singh embarking on an industrious run inside the 18-yard area before squaring the ball for Dimitrios Diamantakos.
