HYDERABAD (India): Bengaluru FC were left to rue missed chances, including one to go top of the Indian Super League table as Hyderabad FC rescued a point in a 1-1 draw on Friday.
Robin Singh cancelled out Sunil Chhetri’s early strike in the injury-time.
The draw meant that the Blues remained winless in three games, and are with 10 points on the table – level with ATK and Jamshedpur.
Earlier, Cuadrat rolled a Bengaluru side that was unchanged from their 1-0 win over Kerala Blasters last week.
Chhetri kept his place in attack, accompanied by Udanta and Ashique on the flanks.
Erik Paartalu, Dimas Delgado and Raphael Augusto manned the Bengaluru midfield.
Bengaluru were buoyed by the early goal, but with the wealth of possession and shots on target, should have been up by a bigger margin.
After earning himself a caution for a harsh challenge on goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Robin would go on to score the equalizer.
Substitute Asish Rai was found in space down the right flank by Marko Stankovic whose shot was tipped into a dangerous area by Gurpreet, but Robin tapped home from close.
Bengaluru travel to Pune next, where they will face Odisha FC on December 4.
