Exciting Indian Super League match as Bengaluru FC defeats Chennaiyin FC 4-2 with Ryan Williams shining.
The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium played host to an entertaining Indian Super League fixture on Saturday. After a topsy-turvy affair that had everything from flashes of brilliance to individual errors, Bengaluru FC (BFC) downed Chennaiyin FC (CFC) 4-2.
Ryan Williams’ scintillating show proved the difference in the end.
The first half saw BFC gaining the advantage and squandering it in no time twice.
While the visitor drew first blood through Williams in the 16th minute, CFC landed the counterpunch through Irfan Yadwad in the 19th.
Jorge Pereyra Diaz swivelled and outfoxed P.C. Laldinpuia from inside the box and sent a threatening cross to Williams. The Australian’s left-footed effort had enough venom to beat Mohammad Nawaz’s extended hand.
Chennaiyin’s Lukas Brambilla snatched the ball off Alberto Noguera’s feet and made a run to the box. Irfan found it easy to tap in and restore parity once Brambilla found him in front of goal.
Two contrasting headers were at the forefront of the match next.
