28 Nov 2013 4:23 AM IST
Salgaocar were jostling with Bengaluru to secure their top spot but they were clearly rattled when John Menyongar drew first blood for the visitors in the 21st minute.
Two minutes later, Gilbert Oliveira came up with a gem of a goal from almost 25 yards out to draw level, only for Beikhokhei Beingaichho to settle the matter in Bengaluru’s favour in the 57th minute.
Salgaocar had a chance to draw level in the first minute of added time but Darryl Duffy missed a penalty. The win saw Bengaluru garner 18 points from ten matches, the same as Salgaocar FC, but the latter still occupy the top position owing to better goal difference.
Bangalore’s goal came from a corner kick as Beikhokhei passed it to Rino Anto who in turn picked out John just inside the box, and the former Liberian striker was as calm as ever slotting the ball into the net. Salgaocar replied brilliantly to the setback, and it took a moment of brilliance from Gilbert to liven up the game.
After a 1-1 stalemate at half-time, Bangalore surged ahead in the 57th minute as Sunil Chhetri worked brilliantly on the left and picked out Beikhokhei whose left foot did the rest inside a crowded goalmouth. In the end Darryl Duffy missed a penalty for Salgaocar.
