Chidi brace sinks Bengaluru’s hopes
22 Jan 2014 6:43 AM IST
Sporting’s win in the first match of the day already confirmed that the defending champions were out of contention in this year’s tournament while anything short of a win wouldn’t have been enough for Bengaluru to seal a semi-final berth.
It was Chidi Edeh who broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute when Pawan Kumar produced a howler. The Bengaluru custodian dived to his left but failed to keep out a relatively tame shot from the striker. Sunil Chettri got a spot-kick but failed to make it count.
It was Chidi Edeh once again who double his side’s tally as a deflected effort from James Moga fell to his feet and he managed another long range effort from the same position, but this time Pawan was left helpless.
In some late drama, Ashley Westwood, the Bengaluru FC gaffer was sent off by the referee after getting involved in a spat with the linesman. Bengaluru FC earned another penalty late into the game, after Sean Rooney was tripped inside the box, but the Australian striker also failed to reduce the deficit as his effort went over the bar.
Sporting Clube de Goa kept their chances of progression into the final four intact as they downed Rangdajied United 2-0 at the MDS Stadium, Manjeri with goals from Boima Karpeh and Victorino Fernandes in the second half. They would now pin their hopes on East Bengal not losing to Bengaluru FC in their second group B match.
