The Gaurs were exploring creating gateways inside the Mohammedan SC defence through their ability to initiate quick passing sequences down the middle with Boris Singh chipping in a cross for the onrushing Rowllin Borges inside the six-yard box in the sixth minute. Borges headed the effort on target but Padam Chhetri made a formidable save to stop the ball from barging into the net.

Dejan Drazic sparked the maiden breakthrough in the contest with an incredible display of footwork on the left side of the 18-yard box. Beating his marker Alexis Gomez, Drazic burst into the final third before pulling off an incredible lateral ball for Ayush Dev Chhetri in the middle of the box through the outside of his right foot.

Ayush showed impeccable smarts to pass in Iker Guarrotxena's path on the right, before he headed the ball into the top right corner in the 40th minute. Drazic continued to be the provider at the start of the second half too, hurling in a powerful cross for Nim Dorjee Tamang from a corner in the 48th minute. ISL 2024–25: Sunil Chhetri’s Late Equaliser Ends East Bengal FC’s Playoffs Charge After Their 1–1 Draw With Bengaluru FC.
