About four minutes from the hour mark, it was a Watson corner again that saw the Minerva defense exposed. Marjan rose the highest but somehow saw his header fly wide.
It was Watson himself who missed a glorious chance to double their advantage after Lenny had played him on. The Australian’s shot went over the bar just from outside the box much to the relief of Arnab. The hosts rallied on in the last ten minutes desperately to get an equaliser but failed miserably. Souvik Das launched a shot that fell straight into Arindam and the Warriors also missed to convert from easy chances from a corner and a free-kick. The title holders reverted to a three-man defense as Roca introduced Salam Ranjan Singh to see the game off. With the win, Bengaluru moved to the fourth spot on the table with sixteen points as Minerva stayed on seventh with 11 points.
