Kolkata, Sep 18: Delhi FC and Bengaluru FC played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in a high-octane Group C match of the 130th Durand Cup at the Mohun Bagan ground here on Saturday.
Willis Deon Plaza (58th, 62nd) scored a brace for Delhi FC while Siva Sakthi N (27th) and Bidyashagar Singh (75th) scored the two goals for Bengaluru FC.
Group C is now wide open with all four teams having a chance to advance to the next stage. The first half was a relatively quiet affair under slippery conditions.
However, in the 27th minute, Siva Shakti took a brilliant shot at goal to put the Blues ahead. Delhi FC played catch up post that.
In the second half, Delhi FC were the more dominant side and in the 58th minute, Willis scored the equalizer courtesy a brilliant header.
The Trinidad and Tobago national scored his second of the game four minutes later. The team from Delhi seemed like going away with the game but Bengaluru’s Bidyashagar had other plans. He collected a well-directed cross from Harmanpreet Singh, made no mistake and scored the equalizer in the final quarter. (PTI)
