KBFC 2-4 EBFC at FT

East Bengal's third goal has been awarded as own goal to Daisuke Sakai. However, makes little sense as the curling shot by Mahesh was going into the goal before Sakai headed it in! Unfair to give it is an own goal, in my opinion!

Full Time!

The referee blows the final whistle and East Bengal win 4-2 in Kochi and give themselves much-important three points to be back in the play-off hunt! They claim to seventh spot with 21 points in 20 matches. They have two more matches left while Bengaluru FC are a point ahead of them!
