A goal in the either half helped Bengaluru FC to lift the 131st Durand Cup. In a truely contested encounter at Kolkata Bengaluru FC defeated Mumbai City FC by a margin of 2-1 in the final. Though Mumbai City FC enjoyed the advantage of 59% ball possession in the match but Bengaluru FC utilised the opportunity and prove themselves as the winner of the tournament.
Bengaluru FC had the lead at the initial stages of the match when ShivaShakti scored after a long run down the middle. This was Shivashakti's fifth goal in the tournament.
Mumbai City equalised at the 30th minute when Apuia scored of a defection from Gurpreet. It was a defensive error on the part of Bengaluru FC as they kept Apuia totally unamarked inside the danger zone. Bengaluru FC scored the winning goal when the Brazalian defender Alan Costa's powerful header of a corner from captain Sunil Chetri finds the target.
Mumbai City FC created pressure at the later stages of the match had some good openings and earned free kicks inside the danger area. A good defensive organisation by Sandesh Jhingan and Alan Costa prevents Mumbai City FC to create any danger. With this Durand Cup victory, Bengaluru FC have won all the major tournaments in India since the club came into existence in 2013.
HOW THE GOALS SCORED
60': GOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLL.. BFC leading 2-1. A corner from the right by Sunil Chetri and Alan Costa came from behind with a powerful header to the back of the net.
30': GOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLL.. MCFC equalised 1-1. Apuia scored of a defection from Gurpreet. Stewart's free kick was partially saved by Gurpreet and Auia places the ball in the net.

An own goal at the half-hour mark by Spanish defender Odei Onaindia Zabala, was enough for Bengaluru FC (BFC) to overcome the challenge of Indian Super League (ISL) champions Hyderabad FC (HFC) and make the final of the 131st IndianOil Durand Cup. It was a largely cagey second semi-final played here at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) with HFC having the lion’s share of chances as well as possession and their star striker Batholomew Ogbeche being wasteful for once, but in the end The Blues did well enough to win the battle of ISL heavyweights.

In what turned out to be a clinical and professional performance in the end, Josep Gombau’s confident Odhisa FC (OFC) rode on a first half-brace, which included three team strikes in 23 minutes, by Jerry Mawihmingthanga, to run out comfortable 6-0 winners against North East United FC (NEUFC), in Assam’s first ever IndianOil Durand Cup game at Guwahati’s Indira Gandhi Athletic stadium.
The first game of Group D meandered a little in the second half but with Isak’s late strike lightening it up, Odhisa put in another three-goal blitz in nine minutes to complete half a dozen.
The damage had been done in the first-half for Subam Rabha’s rebuilding side by the trio of Jerry, Nandhakumar Sekar and Spanish midfielder Pedro Martin primarily. The end just put an authoritative stamp on a story which had been written much before.
Had it not been for the good game that Nikhil Deka had under the bar for the Highlanders, thedamage could have been far greater.
