Live Commentary:

That's it. East Bengal has won riding on goals from Tolgay and Penn Orji. Chirag weren't much of a threat for East Bengal in the second half, even though they were the better side in the first.

90+4' - Sharath brings down Tolgay in the box and he converts the penalty to make it 2-0.

Four minutes added on!

90' - Anil finds Asif at the edge of the box, he turns the defender and shoots. Just wide!!!

86' -EB has possession in the dying minutes of the game.

83' - Sanju Pradhan takes a quick free kick and sends Tolgay free on goal. He reaches the goal with a good run, but shoots wide form close range.

78' - David Sunday creates a chance inside the box and tries to find the bottom left corner of the goal, but his shot rolls wide of the goal after beating Nandi.

15' - First corner of the game, taken by Penn Orji. He takes it on the ground. Chriag defence clears the ball.
