Super Cup 2023 LIVE: Bengaluru FC beat Roundglass Punjab 2-0 - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

45+1' - BENGALURU MAKE A MESS!

Horrible football all-round there. First a massive, massive defensive lapse from Roundglass FC puts Sivasakhti one on one with the goalkeeper. Kiran comes rushing down and blocks the shot.

The ball rebounds to Sunil Chhetri outside the box, who smartly sets it up to Rohit. The latter has a clear shot at goal, but puts it outrageously wide from point blank range.

They have made a real mess out of this chance, have BFC!

2 minutes added

A very closely fought battle between the two sides in the first 45 minutes. We will have 2 extra minutes.

40' - YELLOW CARD, PARAG!

A second yellow card within a minute now for Bengaluru FC as Parag picks up one for barging into Juan Mera while trying to win an aerial ball.

38' - YELLOW CARD, ROHIT!

A nasty challenge on Roundglass Punjab FC's Nellar by Rohit and he is rightly shown a yellow card.

37' - Good play from Roundglass

An excellent play from Roundglass from the right flank, but there is no one on the far post to receive the cross. 

33' - War of words between Chhetri and Luka

An intense war of words between BFC captain Sunil Chhetri and Roundglass captain Luka now. Some heated exchange between the two players before the referee intervenes. 

They are back to their positions now.

31' - Good shot from Lhungdim

A long shot from Lhungdhim and the ball goes just wide of the far post but not before drawing a full length dive from Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to his right. That was an excellent shot from Lhungdim.

29' - Players come in for a break

The players are back to the sidelines for a quick drinks break now. 

This has been a very evenly matched contest so far and you cannot really pick one over the other at the moment.

21' - Rohit hits the crossbar!

Ah, that so close! But not to be for Bengaluru FC. An excellent run from Suresh on the right flank and the ball finds Rohit at the edge of the box. The number 18 takes the shot, but hits the crossbar. 

The ball then rebounds to Sunil Chhetri, who fails to connect his header cleanly.

A very close shave that for Roundglass Punjab FC.

19' - Excellent free kick from Roundglass

An excellent freekick taken by Roundglass Punjab and a player inside the box manage to get the required deflection via a header as well, but the ball goes just wide. 

Anyways, it would not have mattered as the referee already had the off-side flag up. Dicey call that, I would say.
