Hyderabad : Bengaluru FC came from behind to draw 1-1 against Hyderabad FC at the Gachibowli Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 tonight.
In 1st half, Hyderabad Fc got ahead , credits to Mohammed Yasir in the 35th minute. He brought down a long pass by Oswaldo Alanís and struck it past Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. Yasir beat his marker Slavko Damjanovic and displayed fine footwork to help Hyderabad edge ahead in the contest.
Bengaluru responded by bringing Spanish midfielder Javi Hernandez onto the field. Case in point, Hernandez was the differential point in the aforementioned East Bengal clash too. Here, he didn’t bag a goal contribution, but he initiated the move that tore apart the Hyderabad defence within a span of seconds. He pulled off a pass that met the onrushing Halicharan Narzary on the left flank. Narzary laid out an assist for Ryan Williams merely yards away from Gurmeet Singh in the 58th minute.
The Australian international finished off the move, as Grayson breathed a sigh of relief on the touchline. Bengaluru had some brilliant passages of play thereafter, with Suresh Singh Wangjam and Sunil Chhetri coming close to netting the winner. Both teams rounded off with four shots on target, and they converted once each to share spoils from this hard-fought encounter.
Bengaluru FC will play their next ISL match against NorthEast United FC in Guwahati on November 26, whereas Hyderabad will face Punjab FC on November 7 in New Delhi.
