Wungngayam Muirang of Bengaluru FC celebrates after scoring against Army Green in their Durand Cup quarterfinal match at the VYBK in Salt Lake, Kolkata, on Saturday.

Bengaluru FC has made a habit out of fighting back from behind for victory in the Durand Cup. They did it yet again to register a 3-2 win over Army Green in their quarterfinal match at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) in Kolkata on Saturday.

Army Green created pressure early on in the match and earned a penalty in the ninth minute. Lallawmkima scored from the spot to the give the regimental side the lead.

However Bengaluru, coached by Naushad Moosa, did not take long to bounce back. Muirang scored the equalizer in the 20th minute through a magical freekick that curled into the back of the net, giving Green’s keeper Sarath no chance whatsoever.

BFC played an attacking game post the equalizer and created quite a few chances but failed to convert any of them in the first half.

Things, however, changed in the second half and Bengaluru strikers started finding their range. Augustine scored the second for his team just minutes into the second half. Bhutia then scored the third just before the three-quarter hour mark to give the Blues a comfortable two-goal cushion.
