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.
