4) Nepal Army Club takes over the dictation, albeit having lost the game
After the 70th minute, Marco Pezzaiuoli brought about a flurry of substitutions and it took a toll on the Bengaluru FC’s efficiency on the pitch. The Nepal Army Club slowly started dictating the game, even though it was game, set, and match in favor of Bengaluru FC. The Nepali side tried scoring a couple of times in the meanwhile, but the chances were wasted.
At the 72nd minute, Edmund and Bhutia replaced Cleiton and King, and King’s substitution looked more like preventing the aggravation of a small injury.
At the 74th minute Ajith replaced Erik; 75′, the young talent Damaitphang Lyngdoh replaced Harmanjot Khabra; at the 80th minute, Roshan replaced Udanta.
As the game neared the ending, Chhetri tried his chance at one more which was a near miss at the goal, and Tribhuwan Army Club was enjoying the possession while Bengaluru FC was making use of the counter-attacks.
5) In Conclusion
Marco Pezzaiuoli finished his first game at Bengaluru FC on a high note and it sure does look like a road to a brighter future for Bengaluru FC. The tactician was able to alter between his tactics set for Bengaluru FC and it sure did beautifully help his side dominate over the Nepal-based club. Hopefully, the new gaffer could lead them back to their winning ways, and Bengaluru FC and get back to their glory days.
