East Bengal took the lead within the first few minutes of the match through one of their most consistent performers, Naorem Mahesh Singh. The Hyderabad FC defence was caught napping when Cleiton Silva played a forward pass down the middle to find Naorem Mahesh with only Hyderabad FC goalkeeper Gurmeet to beat.
Mahesh rounded off Gurmeet to put the ball in an open net to make it 1-0. Hyderabad FC responded back with a goal from Javier Siverio to make it 1-1. When winger Halicharan Narzary received the ball on the left wing, East Bengal right back, Athul Unnikrishnan allowed the pacey winger to whip in a cross, which found forward Siverio inside the box, who headed in.

It looked like East Bengal would cruise to victory when Naorem Mahesh Singh made it 3-1 just moments before half-time. But Hyderabad FC came down all guns blazing in the second half as they knew dropping points would hamper their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage.
Hyderabad’s second goal came when Borja Herrera Gonzalez collected a pass from the right wing a few metres outside the East Bengal penalty box and unleashed a piledriver, which should have been saved by Kamaljit Singh. The East Bengal goalkeeper failed to carry the ball and Siverio scored from the rebound to make it 3-2 in the 71st minute. Substitute Abdul Rabeeh scored from a Narzary cross to make it 3-3 in the 83rd minute.
