Bengal did enjoy better ball possession than their opponents, but failed to utilize the chances that came in their way.
Tarif Ahmed right footer in the 14th minute sailed over the woodwork, while six minutes later, Delhi’s goalkeeper came up with a fine save to deny Bengal’s striker Robin Singh.
With Bengal missing lots of chances, Delhi grab the only chance that fell in their kitty in the first half with both hands as Tuishim headed in brilliantly off a cross from the right flank.
The scoreline read 1-0 in favour of Delhi at lemon break, but they failed to hold on their one goal advantage and conceded a late equaliser to deny themselves from a famous win.
Jayanta Sen ended Bengal frustration in the87th minute, after they came close on numerous occasions to level the terms. The former Chirag United midfielder right footer held its way to the far post to score the equaliser.
