Bengaluru, Sep 19: Bengaluru FC beat Hyderabad FC 3-0 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium tonight to secure their second consecutive win in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25.
Rahul Bheke, in the first half and Sunil Chhetri twice in the second half, found the back of the net to wrap up a comfortable victory to propel the Gerard Zaragoza-coached team to the top of the table. Coming off the bench in the 57th minute, Chhetri bagged a brace to become the joint-highest goal-scorer in the ISL, level with Bartholomew Ogbeche (63).
The home team maintained a steady control over the proceedings right from the kick-off, stretching the Hyderabad FC backline and creating scoring opportunities aplenty.It resulted in them earning a corner kick in the fifth minute, with academy graduate Vinith Venkatesh stepping up for the set-piece duties. The 19-year-old, who netted in their win against East Bengal FC, delivered a curling ball on the far post for defender Rahul Bheke.Bheke, one of the notable acquisitions made by Bengaluru FC in the summer, received the pass, created space, and calmly slotted the ball with his side foot past Hyderabad FC goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh. This was Bheke’s first ISL goal since he had struck one against Jamshedpur FC in February 2022. (Agencies)
