FCBU got off to a sluggish start, struggling to create clear chances and spending much of the early exchanges chasing the ball. However, as the half progressed, they gradually found their rhythm, keeping the ball better and pushing forward with intent. Their persistence paid off in the 38th minute when a precise long ball from the defense found Akshunna at the edge of the box. He delivered a sharp low cross into the five-yard area straight to Amey, whose accurate tap-in took a slight deflection of the USC defender to give FCBU the lead. Just before halftime, USC responded with an equalizer, sending the teams into the break level at 1-1.
FCBU came out stronger in the second half, showing more composure in possession. Their attacking efforts bore fruit in the 58th minute when Allen delivered a pinpoint cross from the left wing, and Amey rose to meet it with a well-placed header into the bottom right corner. With the lead restored, FCBU adopted a disciplined approach, maintaining their defensive shape and nullifying USC’s attempts to find another equalizer.
The final phase of the match saw FCBU manage the game efficiently. Chun played a crucial role in midfield, tirelessly covering ground and keeping the team organized. The visitors made the most of their chances and held firm to see out the victory. With this win, FC Bengaluru United continue their strong run, displaying both resilience and attacking quality as they push forward in their I League 2 campaign.
