Bengaluru FC lost the first leg of the ISL semi-final to Northeast United FC 2-1 at the latter’s home ground. In the reverse fixture, they knew that a victory would do the trick and they completed the task.
Bengaluru FC’s Miku missed a lot of chances in the first half but the side was taking no prisoners in the second half. The Venezuelan broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute after latching on to Udanta Singh’s pass and, Dimas Delgado doubled the lead fifteen minutes later after pouncing on the rebound which hit the post.
Captain Sunil Chhetri completed the formality by writing his name in the scoresheet through a brilliant solo effort in the dying embers of the game to win the game 4-2 on aggregate.

Such a heartbreaking game. Incredibly proud of how our boys fought with their whole soul despite all the injuries – shows their incredible character. My heart goes out to Gallego who has sustained multiple fractures. @NEUtdFC #NEUFC #StrongerTogether #United
