Madrid took the lead in the 37th minute through Arevalo, but the Blue Colts only took a minute to level the score when Shashwat found the back of the net off a cross from skipper Korou, who had a good day in office.
India surged into the lead when Ralte found the target three minutes after the break. Shashwat had set it up perfectly for Ralte to slot it home, but the home side scored two quick goals through A.

Changing over, the Indian boys started to show more intent as the game resumed. India had the best chance to take the lead when the score was 2-2, but Shashwat's rebound shot from a free-kick hit the crossbar.

Bengaluru FC showed no mercy on Mumbai City FC in the first knockout match in the ISL 2024-25 play-offs, thrashing the defending cup winners 5-0 to secure a well-deserved semi-finals berth.
Suresh Singh Wangjam, Edgar Mendez, Ryan Williams, Sunil Chhetri, and Jorge Pereyra Diaz each scored a goal to run riot over the Islanders, stamping a clean-sheet as well.
Despite a tumultuous run in the league stage this season, Bengaluru finished third on the leaderboard, having bagged 38 points in 24 matches. The Blues secured third place due to better head-to-head stats against the fourth and fifth-placed teams.
"My message to the team and to the fans, is here. Together. I said before the match that I wanted a party, and we enjoyed that. In four days we have another party." 🗓️
However, head coach Gerard Zaragoza has a strong squad available for the semi-final clashes against FC Goa. Despite Vinith Venkatesh having suffered a knock against Mumbai, he might be available for the first leg. However, Bengaluru's second-choice keeper, Lalthuammawia Ralte, is still unavailable after suffering an injury in late February this year.
Bengaluru have not won a game against FC Goa in their last five meetings, and the Blues aim to change that as the first leg takes place at their home stadium.
