East Bengal 2 Paro FC 2 (FT)
The final whistle blows and East Bengal and Paro FC share the spoils in Thimphu. An excellent result for the Bhutanese club in their AFC debut, East Bengal will be relieved that they have finally broken their losing streak.
A 2-2 draw is a fitting result but the Kolkata club will be extremely disappointed with their performance albeit against the home side. The attacking showed a bit promise but the defence has looked at sixes and sevens.
