East Bengal and Hyderabad FC played out a 3-3 draw in a Group B fixture of the Hero Super Cup 2023 on Thursday at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, Kerala.
From the Red and Gold Brigade, it was Naorem Mahesh Singh with a brace and local boy VP Suhair's banging strike. On the other hand, it was Javier Siverio's brace and substitute Abdul Rabeeh's strike which completed the Nizams' comeback.
As it happened:
A brilliant match comes to an end. East Bengal's inability to hold on to their lead continues as they let go of their 2-goal lead in the second half. Javier Siverio, the Hero of the Match, completed his brace in the second half, adding on to his first half header, after which substitute Rabeeh put his laces through a shot to equalise.
