AFC CUP
2009 and 2012 champions Kuwait SC bagged fourth AFC Cup final ticket in Tuesday’s semi-final second leg to complete a 7-2 aggregate victory. East Bengal made a good start to overturn 4-2 deficit from the first leg.
In the Salt Lake stadium today, the home team needs to win with a minimum goal difference of 2 without conceding more than one goal. A 2-0 or 3-1 winmay push East Bengal to the final. The only black mark for Kuwait SC was Khamees’ red card for lashing out Uga Okpara before half-time. Abhishek Das helped Fahad Awad’s shot into the back of the net following the dismissal of East Bengal’s Arnab Mandal.
East Bengal made a fine start in the contest with numerous promising attacks inside the first five minutes. In the 11 minutes of the match Kuwait SC created the chance as the homeside goalkeeper Abhjit Mondal propelled Waleed Jumah’s free-kick.
Kuwait SC goalkeeper Al Kandari bravely blocks James Moga’s close range effort from just the six yard area after 24 minutes. Kuwait SC dealt a huge blow as Rogerinho charged through the heart of the defence.
East Bengal had a man advantage for the second 45 minutes as Kuwait SC’s striker was shown a straight red card for just kicking out East Bengal defender Okpara. But their hope to get back were extinguished soon as Mandal was shown red card after pulling back Rogerinho with Brazilian set who are running on goal. Ralte Lalrindika did hit Kuwait SC post with a free-kick with 19 minutes remaining. On the other hand Rogerinho continued his task breaking clear of the East Bengal defence. Kuwait SC sealed the match with four minutes remaining.
