FC Bengaluru United secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory over Student’s Union FC in an intense encounter in the ongoing BDFA Super Division, showcasing grit and skill to overpower their opponents. Dhruv’s first-half goal (38’) and a sensational long-range strike from Suraj in the dying moments (90’) sealed the win. While the first half saw flashes of brilliance, the second half was a masterclass in calm, composed, and dominating football from FC Bengaluru United.
The opening 45 minutes were a blend of promise and missed opportunities for FC Bengaluru United, who went into halftime with a slender 1-0 lead. Dhruv broke the deadlock in the 38th minute, capitalizing on a fast break initiated by Akshunna. His powerful shot, though directed at the keeper, had enough force to find the back of the net. Despite leading, the first half was marked by near-misses—twice hitting the post and a missed one-on-one chance—reflecting both the team’s dominance and lack of clinical finishing. The game displayed more fluidity as it progressed, with FCBU steadily finding its rhythm.
The second half was a completely different story, with FC Bengaluru United dictating the tempo and putting on a composed and mature performance. The boys displayed seamless one-two passes, controlled possession, and left the opposition chasing shadows. Although the chances created were fewer than in the first half, they were more deliberate. Ribhav, Rakesh, and Jerry all came close, with Ribhav’s chipped effort on a one-on-one being the highlight of the missed opportunities. The calm and measured approach by Chun, Suraj, and Rakesh in midfield played a pivotal role in controlling the game.
The match reached its crescendo in the 90th minute when Suraj produced a moment of magic from 40 yards out. What appeared to be an intended cross dipped dramatically over the wall and into the top-left corner of the net, leaving everyone in awe. The second half was a testament to the team’s maturity and tactical brilliance, as FC Bengaluru United dominated possession and showcased their defensive solidity. It was a well-rounded performance with standout contributions from Chun, Suraj, and Rakesh, earning the team a hard-fought and well-deserved victory.
FC Bengaluru United continues to demonstrate why they are a force to be reckoned with, combining flair with discipline as they march forward in the BDFA campaign.
