Bengaluru FC’s Academy graduate Vinith Venkatesh scored the winner as the Blues picked up their first points of the ISL 2024-25 season with a 1-0 win over East Bengal FC at the Kanteerava Stadium on Saturday. 

The 19-year-old, who joined the club as an eight-year-old in 2013, fired a low drive past the reach of East Bengal FC goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Gill to add to his two strikes in the Durand Cup last month.
