Captain Maninder Singh was the star performer for the Warriors with 11 points, while raider Shrikant Jadhav contributed with 6 points. Girish Maruti Ernak pulled off a couple of brilliant tackles as Bengal Warriors inched ahead at 3-1.
The Brazilian defender nodded home a Javier Hernandez corner at the far post to log home full points for Sunil Chhetri-led side. Incidentally Hernandez had come in as a substitute for Fijian striker Roy Krishna. Bengaluru could have gone ahead in the 78th minute when Indian international Udanta Singh had received a ball at the edge of the North East penalty box. However his shot sailed over the crossbar.
The 22-year-old right-handed batter, who has recovered from a wrist injury that had ruled her out of the recent England series, struck 76 off 53 balls with the help of 11 fours and one six to lay the foundation of India's 41-run win. "The wicket was tricky, it kept on the lower side, initially it was not turning, but then it turned. But I had prepared well for this, even in Bangalore I asked for slower and turning wickets. That preparation really helped me here," Rodrigues said after the match.
In the battle between two former Indian Super League champions, Sivasakthi N put BFC in front in the 11th minute, only for Mumbai City to fight back to claim an equalizer through Apuia Ralte on the half-an-hour mark. But Brazilian defender Alan Costa rose to the occasion, heading home Sunil Chhetri’s corner in the 61st minute to seal the deal for Simon Grayson’s team from Karnataka’s capital. BFC — who were assimilated in I-League as a corporate team in 2013-2014 season — have gone on to win almost all major domestic titles. But the Durand Cup remained elusive both for the team as well its captain Sunil Chhetri.
Siva Sakthi (10th minute) and Brazilian Alan Costa (61st) scored for the winners while Apuia got the lone goal for the Mumbai side in an entertaining match. The Blues took an early lead through a fifth tournament goal from Siva Sakthi.

For 38-year-old Chhetri, who is in the twilight of his career, the Durand Cup is missing from his trophy cabinet. It's also the same for Bengaluru FC, who have won all major Indian competitions since coming into existence in 2013, but not the Durand Cup. BFC were the ISL 2018-19 champions, and also have six other top domestic titles to their name, and will be vying for their seventh.
The 15-year-old, having already met the other requirements that are necessary for a GM title, achieved the honour late on Thursday. To become a GM, a player has to secure three GM norms and cross the live rating of 2,500 Elo points. Anand had scored the third and final GM norm at the 55th Biel Chess Festival in Switzerland in July. "He is passionate towards chess. Extremely interested and passionate towards the game. He can work for any number of hours," Anand's coach V Saravanan told PTI.
