  WHAT A MISS! Do Dong Hyun misses a absolute sitter. Ranti Martins guides a scorching header towards MB goal, which is saved by a diving Debjit but the rebound falls to an unmarked Do Dong and his left footed shot hits side netting.

  WHAT AN ESCAPE! Cornel Glen scores a beauty but the lines man had judged him off side just a few seconds earlier. However TV replays show that the Bagan player was in line with the East Bengal defender
