The first chance in the game for the Blues came really early. In about six minutes from the kick-off, Bruno Ramires attempted a long ranger which was collected easily by Arindam Bhattacharya. In some time, Roshan makes a beautiful run for over 50m to feed Siva with a whopping cross. However, Siva narrowly squanders that. Two close attempts see Bengaluru FC without a goal in the first half. As for the visitors, in the first half, they created a lot of scoring chances. Most of them were made through Jithin. However, a lack of finishing from the Kerala striker saw him off any goal. The teams went into the break with scores tied at 0-0.

Bengaluru got a number of chances in the second half and one such went begging in the 64th minute simply because Sivashakthi, who could have driven home from close range after poor defending from North East backline, decided to set up his skipper Chhetri, who fluffed his lines. Bengaluru could have gone ahead in the 78th minute when Indian international Udanta Singh received a ball at the edge of the North East penalty box. However, his shot sailed over the crossbar.
The hosts finally found the breakthrough in the 86th minute through Alan Costa. The Brazilian defender nodded home a Javier Hernandez corner at the far post to log home full points for the Sunil Chhetri-led side.
