Messi Bouliiiiii, what an exceptional goal by Messi, earned a loose ball from his half and outnumbered Hyderabad's defense line and he netted the ball. He scored his first goal

Jesin TK in, Naorem Mahesh Singh out.

The Red and Gold brigade takes the lead, an exceptional ball from the corner and David Hamar's flick, deflected by Manoj's head and EBFC scored the opener.

In: Devendra Murgaonkar

Out: Md. Rafi

In: David Lahlansanga, Jeakson Singh

Out: Dimitrios Diamantakos, Souvik Chakrabarti

That was simply the best opportunity for East Bengal in the second half.

Diamantakos found the cross inside the six-yard box but failed to land a touch to make a simple tap in.

A defensive error from Hyderabad led Diamantakos to have the possesion, but he wasted the opportunity with a high and off-target strike!

Messi Bouli attempted another header but failed to connect well again.

Messi Bouli anticipated Celis' pass in front of the box and took a quick strike on the turn which was too high over the crossbar!

Naorem Mahesh dribbled past three Hyderabad played and lodged a left-footed strike from inside the box, that just went inches wide off the far post!

In: Richard Celis, Provat Lakra

Out: Hector Yuste, Nishu Kumar

Yuste powered a header following a set-piece, but the ball went wide off the first post.

Messi Bouli delivered a brilliant curler on target from the left that only rattled the far post!

He will miss East Bengal's next game.

Edmilson physically defeated Anwar inside the box and took a strike from a tough angle on the right, as Gill stayed tall in making a good save! The rebound strike from Allan Paulista was also denied by the East Bengal custodian.

Diamantakos had only the keeper in front of him but took some time to attempt the strike. Hyderabad defence quickly rejuvenated to block the attempt.

Chungnunga stayed alert in defence to tackle the ball away. East Bengal midfield is making unnecessary backpasses which have already brought them in danger two times.

Nishu delivered a dangerous cross from the left, as Diamantakos was almost one on one with Arshdeep, but Sapic made a brilliant tackle to clear the danger.

Despite lacking in the final third, Hyderabad have produced some positive attacks from the very first minute.

The match is underway in Kolkata!

On December 28th, 2024, Manoj Mohammad's last-minute equalizer for Hyderabad canceled out Jeakson's strike for East Bengal as the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium.

Read the highlights of the game here.

The Nizams are out of the play-offs qualification race.

Oscar Bruzon’s team's chances of making the playoffs are slim. They would need to win all their remaining games, including a victory over NorthEast United FC, and still require the Highlanders to lose their other match or hope that Mumbai City FC fail to collect any more points.

Additionally, they would need Kerala Blasters FC, Punjab FC, and Chennaiyin FC to drop points in any of their remaining games, while also hoping Odisha FC do not collect more than three points in their last two matches
