Bengaluru FC dine on Sunil Chhetri's fine wine as Mumbai City wilt (ESPN India)

Sunil Chhetri proved decisive once again as Bengaluru take a 1-0 advantage home in their semifinal against Mumbai City.

We know what we are capable of, we've shown that over the league season and I'm very confident we'll be able to showcase that in Bengaluru" We didn't take the chances we were presented with and they scored from a set piece, so... We are tough to play against but we look a threat when we pass the ball well enough, because we will create chances. We had to be resilient, because Mumbai started the game really well, which we expected them to do, they might dominate the possession but we defended really really well. However, the blunt nature of their attack in the second half, when they were chasing a goal but simply found no solutions, ought to raise a bit of panic. 2-0 may have offered BFC a greater cushion, but with Sunil Chhetri to count on in the second game as well, who would worry? While their manager may have been unconcerned after the game, Mumbai went from looking like the record-breaking League Shield champions they are in the opening 20 minutes... However, Bengaluru FC's ability to withstand pressure is unmatched in the league and the visitors held firm as Greg Stewart and Jorge Pereyra Diaz floated all over the pitch. BFC's defensive acumen hasn't been in question in their winning run (now up to 10 games), but this performance was a higher mark - Mumbai cannot expect a stroll in the park in the second leg. Naorem Roshan, who had been impressive with his deliveries into the box all night, did not disappoint, sending in a pin-point delivery from the corner to the near post. Bengaluru FC defeated Mumbai City in the first leg of their Indian Super League semifinal 1-0, thanks to a 78th minute goal from Sunil Chhetri. The neurons may have fired a bit too much in injury time, as Chhetri spurned a presentable chance in the box by opting for the near post, when curling the box into the far post seemed the better option.

The Sunil Chhetri Effect: How Bengaluru FC's talisman sparked ... (Scroll.in)

There was well over an hour to go for the Indian Super League semifinal first leg between Mumbai City FC and Bengaluru FC to kickoff, and there was no hurry as ...

“The goal changed the game, but it was pleasing to see that defensively we were solid and in shape. “The team that played against East Bengal (a 1-0 loss in the last league match) is very different from what we played tonight, we have scored 54 goals this season, and we know there are goals in us. The target is set for Buckingham and his team. After all, the League Shield winners did remain unbeaten for 18 matches this season, scoring a record 54 goals in the league stage in the process. But with Chhetri on the field, the link-up play had become more effective, and the Mumbai defence was getting far more stretched. And it’s what prompted Grayson to relegate the otherwise perennial starter to the bench. Once Chhetri got onto the pitch, suddenly there was more spark and purpose in the Bengaluru FC attack. Yet the coach maintains that despite not getting to play, Chhetri still plays an important role. Almost in unison, the crowd rose to give the national team captain a standing ovation as he sprinted onto the pitch – save for the small section reserved for the Mumbai City ultras. Yet Des Buckingham, the Mumbai City coach, asserted that his team will not panic. Just because of the certain number of his age, (but) he still wants to play every week. Two football fans were deep in discussion with a hawker outside the Mumbai Football Arena on Tuesday.
