East Bengal FC completed the double against Bengaluru FC, with Cleiton Silva once again foiling his previous club`s chances with a 90th-minute winner and guiding his team to 2-1 win in an Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 match at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, on Friday.
East Bengal FC took the lead thanks to a Silva penalty in the 39th minute. The goal came against the run of play thanks to some good work from Suhair VP on the right flank. Suhair`s mazy run forced Naorem Mahesh Singh into a mistimed sliding tackle, and the ball rolled onto his arms.
