Bengaluru FC began their Indian Super League (ISL) title defence with a goal-less draw against NorthEast United FC at home. The downpour set the stage for an intense game but both teams had to settle for a point at the end of a contest which mellowed down with time.
Although Robert Jarni’s men put on a solid show to earn the point, Carles Cuadrat will consider it as two points lost after his attackers failed to bury the plethora of chances created by the midfield.
New-signing Raphael Augusto was the pick of the midfielders, having created several chances and two big goal-scoring opportunities.
