The match stays goalless at the break. The actual game has been quite different, with Miguel Ferreira hitting the post THRICE. East Bengal, despite their dominance, will have their luck to blame not to have found the back of the net yet. Nine shots to their name, compared to zero from Namdhari FC.

How unlucky are East Bengal?! Miguel Ferreira is pulled down in the box by a Namdhari FC defender, but the referee waves play on.

Correction: The yellow card was actually meant for Miguel Ferraira, not Naorem Mahesh Singh.

Other than two bursting runs from Namdhari, mos tof the attacking pressure has come from East Bengal's attackers.
