BFC looked sharp on the pitch today, with the midfield performing smoothly, and setting balls up for Robin Singh and Sunil Chhetri.<\/p>\n
Robin came close to goal scoring in the very first minute, and he then forced a corner. In a counter from Shillong, Durga Boro set one for Cornell Glenn, which the later shot wide.<\/p>\n
Local boy Shankar got a memorable start in the Hero I-League, with his precision balls from the right flank helped Robin Singh to score his first home goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Last five minutes of the first half proved taxing for the Steelmen. Central defender Curtis Osano was shown the red card after committing a serious challenge on Cornell Glenn. There was another drama when BFC keeper Ralte failed to collect the ball cleanly, and Seiminlen Doungel failed to latch on to the opportunity.<\/p>\n
That could have given the much-needed equalizer for the visitors.<\/p>\n
Robin got another chance in the second minute post lemon break. A sloppy work in defense from Nim Dorjee gave the tall striker to score his double, which he unfortunately couldn’t convert.<\/p>\n
Playing with 10 men, BFC gaffer Ashley Westwood sacrificed a midfielder for a central defender. However, that did not refrain from taking industrious attempts. Perhaps that resulted in the second goal when Thoi Singh scored one from Eugenson Lyngdoh’s perfect cross.<\/p>\n
The visitors tried hard in the final stages of the game, but could not make a comeback.<\/p>\n
