FC Bengaluru United (FCBU) continued their impressive form in the ongoing BDFA Super Division with their third win on the trot – a well-earned 2-1 victory over Roots FC. This win, with goals from Dhruva (34’) and Akshunna (57’) solidified their position at the top of the table. A strong defensive display, combined with quick, incisive passing in attack, proved to be the difference as FC Bengaluru United held their ground and capitalized on key moments.

The first half saw FC Bengaluru United start with clear intent, dominating possession and creating multiple chances early on. The defensive line remained rock solid, effectively nullifying the opposition’s advances and keeping them far from the danger zone. In the 34th minute, a well-orchestrated move involving Aqib and Suraj found Dhruva on the edge of the box. His sharp cross evaded everyone until Dhruv calmly slotted it home at the far post, giving FCBU a well-deserved lead. However, a momentary lapse led to the concession of a penalty just before halftime, allowing the opposition to level the score.

The second half began with renewed energy, as substitute Rakesh made an immediate impact, striking the post with a powerful effort. Minutes later, his long-range shot was denied only by an outstanding save from the opposition keeper. FCBU reclaimed the lead in the 57th minute when Aqib delivered a perfectly weighted cross into the box. Akshunna, positioned expertly in the middle, tapped it in to make it 2-1. There were a few more close attempts, including a 1v1 chance for Aqib and another strike from Rakesh, only to be thwarted by the opposition keeper.

FCBU’s defense held firm through the second half, save for a tense moment in extra time. The team’s quick one-two passes, spearheaded by the creative play of Suraj, Rakesh, and Shoib, consistently broke through the opposition’s defensive line. The match ended with FC Bengaluru United taking three vital points and maintaining their spot at the top of the table.

This performance showcased the team’s resilience, tactical discipline, and attacking flair. With this victory, FC Bengaluru United remains a formidable force in the league.
