Second Half Summary: Bengaluru FC vs Inter Kashi (1-1)

The second half came alive with intensity and drama. Inter Kashi nearly grabbed an early lead as Gurpreet Singh Sandhu had to make crucial saves-first from Edmund's deflected header and then from a curling free-kick by Stojanovic. Despite that pressure, Bengaluru FC responded well. Ryan Williams broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, capitalizing on an error by Shubham Das to calmly slot the ball into an open net after a pinpoint long ball from Noguera.

Bengaluru began to dominate possession, with Diaz's introduction adding urgency to their attack. However, Inter Kashi weren't done yet. After a triple substitution and tactical shift, they clawed back with a stunning flicked finish from Babovic in the 88th minute-catching Gurpreet off guard at his near post.

Despite Bengaluru's last-minute corners and Kashi's time-management tactics, neither side could find a winner in regulation time. With no extra time in play, the tie headed straight into a penalty shootout-leaving the result hanging on the shoulders of the goalkeepers, especially the experienced Gurpreet.
